Sermon Notes

Today was baptism Sunday at church. What an amazing experience. Nine individuals, all teenagers, declared their intention to follow Christ publicly. It was like nine different sermons - each one was a challenge and a living sermon. These are my "notes" from the service.

We do baptism a little different here. We actually allow the fathers of our students to baptize their kids. The pastor only baptizes those that wish it that way. In most cases, the mother was also there to pray for her child. It makes the whole experience very intimate and personal. This sketch is a kind of compilation of today's service.
