Party Time!!

I hope you don't have plans for this Sunday afternoon, because if you do I'm gonna ask you to change them. The reason why is, we will be celebrating baptism this Sunday afternoon at 5:00. I've said this a lot but I'll say it again because it's true, baptism is one of the most important things we do as a church. This week we have 10 people that we will be baptizing in Lake Apalache, but we are praying for more!

We make a big deal out of baptism because each person who is baptized is celebrating the fact that Jesus has changed them. Jesus said that when that happens there is a party in heaven. "I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents." John 15:10 The way we figure it is, if there is a celebration in heaven then there should be a celebration here on earth! We will have BBQ and home-made ice cream, and we want as many of you as possible to be there. Come ready to celebrate because Jesus changing lives is worth celebrating!

If you don't know how to get to Lakewood Hills subdivision we will have directions available on Sunday morning. Also, if you prefer to get your own map off of Mapquest the street name you'll be looking for is Lakewood Circle in Greer. Make plans to be there Sunday!
