Baptisms

Baptisms are a highlight for us at Jubilee Church. I love how the church enthusiastically responds when a new convert comes up out of the water. One of the things we do to involve the entire church is to circulate to the congregation the written testimonies of those being baptized. I've heard of other churches who show video interviews of those being baptized. Here's one church that gives a tee shirt to those being baptized. When I was at Granger Community Church over a year ago I bought a DVD of one of their baptism services. (They baptize people once a year, which for them involves baptizing hundreds.) Every once in awhile I get it out and watch it as a reminder of why I do what I do. Watching husbands & wives, parents & kids and friends coming up out of the water linked arm in arm makes me cry every time. Something as significant as identifying ourselves with the risen Lord Jesus should never go unplanned. I encourage you to take the time to think through how you can make these times as meaningful as you possibly can.
