Hope you got to know someone a bit better at the service last weekend.  It was fun to see the synergy from up front.  And it was as boisterous as an energetic song!  A couple of you did venture to share you ideas with me.  Stay in contact with your new-found partner in planning and let me know if you decide to pull anything off.

We are entering into the final two weeks of our Ecclesia series.  We will be looking at the two sacraments practiced by the Protestant Church – communion and baptism.  Communion symbolizes the doorway to the church.  Christ’s sacrifice on the cross paves the way for personal cleansing and a relationship with God.  Josh will be sharing this weekend and I ask that everyone be praying for a clear message and call concerning the sacrifice of Christ and the elements of communion that facilitate our remembrance of that event.  We trust some will make a decision this weekend to enter that door they have only previously gazed at from a distance.  Then we hope they will be baptized the following week.  We have several young people scheduled for baptism on the final weekend of the series and we would love to have more of you participate.  Matt will be bringing the message and I will have the privilege of baptizing everyone.

Let me ask.  Have you made a decision to follow Christ?  Have you followed it up with baptism?  These next two weeks could be excitingly crucial for you in taking a significant step forward in experiencing life to the fullest.

See you this weekend.
