Wednesday night New Covenant Bible Church held it's 7th annual Picnic and Baptism at Pleasant Creek Lake. We started off with a picnic with many guests as well as the church family. Click here for a slideshow courtesy of Kim Pagel and his camera magic.
I love baptisms because it is a beautiful picture of the Lord's death, burial and resurrection. You see, when we trust Christ as our Savior we are baptized as an outward act of what Christ has done inwardly. Baptism does not "wash away" your sins, it merely pictures what Christ did for us on the cross.
The best part of the evening came when I had the privilege of baptizing Mackenzie. The next best news is that Mackenzie was one of 33 people who were baptized. The next best part was watching father's baptize their children. Finally, the last best part was the awesome food and fellowship. It was a wonderful night! Tye out.
Having been buried with him in baptism, you also have been raised with him through your faith in the power of God who raised him from the dead. Colossians 2:12 (NET Bible)
