Baptism

Baptism is a beautiful picture of the death, burial and ressurection of Christ parallelled in the Christian life.
Romans 6:4 :"Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."
When a person accepts Christ as their Savior, they put to death the old sinful nature, they rise in Christ's forgiveness and begin a new life moving forward in the newness of life in Christ. In our church family, we rejoice over baptism and the new life it portrays.






Please keep these and always one another in your prayers for continued growth in the grace and knowledge of God.
