BAPTISM IN THE STRAIT.

This last Sunday was a gorgeous day, and we as a church headed on down to the 9th Street Park here in Benicia to do some baptizing. We usually just walk straight out into the water off the beach, but yesterday, that tide was out - like 50 feet out! So we improvised and went off of the boat ramp instead. How exciting it is to hearing stories from people of all ages and backgrounds talking about the faithfulness of Jesus in their lives. It reminded of when I got baptized: it was a bucket of water standing outside a gymnasium in Avery in the middle of winter, with snow falling down. No matter where or how you do it, new life is always worth celebrating. See you soon.
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20)
