I have had several ask about how Sunday went down so thought I'd share a bit.
It was such an amazing day. We do our baptisms as needed. Based on the sermon this week, Tim decided on Saturday to get it ready, its been awhile since its been used and he was feeling like it was time (ok, so that was God but he acted on it). We have 2 services and first service nobody came for baptism - which was fine too, we really don't want anyone to feel pressured to do it. Plus, he rarely even asks for public showing of faith on the spot or gives 'alter calls' if you will, so our people really aren't prepared for it. During the closing prayer, Tim asked for God to 'move' us to a place where we would act on His call and the thunder rolled! It was so cool. So, we were about to leave 2nd service and our worship director stopped and said he just felt it, like somebody was just waiting... and one lady raised her had and 4 people went up with her! They trickled up after that, one after the other - 10 in all right in their church clothes! So far, I know of 1 possibly happening this week during the week and several who are really considering it. Plus, who knows what Sunday will bring considering God will have this week to work on people's hearts. Good stuff! And the sermon wasn't really focused on baptism, more sharing our faith with others! He showed an awesome clip from Penn Jillette well worth watching, he's an atheist. The sermon is also online if you are interested at all.
