Dan's Baptism

On Sunday Dan was baptized at our church. Dan's parents, my parents and my sister and Brent came to see the service and stayed for a BYOP (bring your own picnic) afterwards. It was a beautiful day outside, which was good since the service was outside in the tent and the baptismal was in a big tub with warm water.

Dan said he's been thinking about getting baptized for awhile and really wanted to do it at a church he felt connected at. Well, we've been at Cross of Glory for over 5 years now and feel so blessed to call it our church home. We have so many wonderful friendships with all ages and really enjoy the pastoral staff. It is so exciting to see more and more young adults starting to attend church and join small groups. Our small group starts up again next week and we have 13 people this fall! It will be great to be back into the routine of regular meetings with our friends.
