Baptisms @ South Hills Church

This weekend is such a great weekend because our church, South Hills, is inviting people to leave their seats, receive Christ & be baptized right in our service!! We did the first service and we already had 31 people decide to follow the example of Christ through baptism.

Its such an exciting experience to watch people who have been learning the ways of Christ to decide to take up their cross and follow him. Baptism is an ancient and sacred symbol of what God has done in us through Christ Jesus. The water symbolizes the death of our old life of sin, and we are 'buried' in the water and raised in Christ brand new!! What an incredible opportunity it is to watch this mysterious & spiritual part of peoples lives.
