E-Flash From Dan, Jan. 26, 2012

Dear E-Flash Friends;

I am excited!

We have 10 people who will be baptized this Sunday, Jan. 29th, five people at the 9 o’clock service and five people at the 11 o’clock service.  

On the day of Pentecost, a long time ago, Peter—filled with the Holy Spirit, as Jesus promised—delivered a powerful sermon which included this line: “Repent and be baptized, every one of you…” (Acts 2:38).  To be baptized is a good, right and proper step of obedience for every follower of Jesus.  And it is a public proclamation of faith in Christ.

The baptisms represent spiritual victory for the individuals who are responding in obedience to Christ and they represent spiritual victory to our congregation as we celebrate God’s vital work in the lives of our brothers and sisters in Christ! 

By the way, have I mentioned that I’m excited?  Oh, I have?  Okay, sorry to repeat myself, but I can’t help it, I am.

There’s something else coming up this Sunday, as well.

You say, “Wait a minute, there’s more, Dan?” 

Yep!  We will also be showing the movie “Courageous” on Sunday evening.  Snacks and mingling at 5:30; movie starts at 6pm; and *gospel tumbling commences at 8:45.  Hey guys, we hope you’re planning to come.  This is not a “chick flick” it is something that men can appreciate and enjoy.  In fact, I might even bring some fireworks and blow something up to just to establish the importance of manhood.

Hope you can make it to the services, you will be blessed if you do!

Love and blessings,

Dan

  

*NOTE:  Just kidding.  There will not be any type of “gospel tumbling” at 8:45.
