Baptismal Service





Sunday was a special day! We were able to have a baptism service, but since we don't have a place to baptize we have to go to one of our supporting churches in Louisburg. Well, all weekend we were wondering if we would even get to a have a service because they were calling for snow. Well, Sunday we have lunch at the church in which the menu was changed several times, then we formed a train of cars and headed off to Grace. When we got there the doors were locked, we stood outside freezing for a while until Bryan found the spare key. Well, Mr. Satterfield had forgotten his clothes and had to go home so he wasn't there when we first got there and we were afraid he would get lost. Well, he arrived and we sighed in relief. We had our service and time came to baptize. The doors were locked going up into the tank. Oh no! Some quick thinking got Mr. Byler who was leading the singing to come with his credit card and break in. Okay, we are in! We get to the top of the stairs, and Leah sticks her toe in, COLD!! No Heat!! Her daddy baptizes her and nobody can see her, she is too short. Then, Mr. Satterfield gets in. We were afraid he was going to bolt. It was too cold. Over all it will be a service I won't soon forget. Here are some pictures of Leah, yes she really did get baptized, and Mr. Satterfield. Mr. Satterfield started coming to church by Dameon his grandson coming to Bible Time. He then got saved during our revival. It is wonderful to see fruit in the church.

Hey baby girl. Gramma is so proud of you. Getting baptized is a wonderful thing, isn't it? Getting saved is better, but getting baptized means you're obeying the Lord. Course I knew all along that you were a good kid.Gramma's know that kind of stuff, you know. But looking at those red eyes makes one wonder if you got a little bit of mama in you. Her head use to spin around and green stuff shot into the air. But only when she was angry. Still, those red eyes.....Whew, I'm glad you got saved. Hee hee hee. Love you.
