Baptismal Service


We had a combined service today, a baptismal service. There were four candidates to be baptized. Nick preached a very clear, simple message about obedience and baptism – about the whys and wherefores of not baptising babies, and that believer’s baptism is a command. I was glad to know that the boys were listening to some parts of the sermon. Aaron whispered to me that he couldn’t get baptized, because he’ll always be my baby. The four people shared their testimonies, and it was all very moving and wonderful. Look at the colour of the water – straight from the tap! Directly after the service, after about a 15-minute break, we had our AGM. The meeting didn’t last for more than 35 minutes, even though it’s the big annual meeting!
