Next Steps?

I can't wait for this weekend's service a The Carpenter's. Don't get me wrong, I look forward to almost every service we do. However, this weekend is different. This weekend we get to celebrate with about a dozen people as they take the "next step" in their spiritual journey and follow the Lord in Baptism. Baptism isn't anything magical but is simply a public expression of a personal decision to identify with Jesus as Lord of your life. It is a symbol of His burial and resurrection as the candidate goes under the water and then comes back up again. (Don't worry we won't keep them under for 3 days)

Baptism services are awesome. We get the chance to celebrate what God is doing in the lives of His people and hear people share their testimony. Add to that the opportunity to celebrate communion together with the church family and you have the makings for a fabulous day.

Then on Tuesday, we'll have several students proclaim their faith to their friends as Tucker leads another baptism service at Ignite Students.

Yes, the next 7 days here at The Carpenter's are going to awesome! Don't miss this weekends service. Invite your friends to come and celebrate with us. Come out to Ignite next Tuesday night and celebrate with our Students. It could be life changing for you too!
