What an incredible weekend at Willow! This weekend we celebrated baptisms at all 3 services. Gene's message about counting the cost and taking seriously the call to follow Christ was powerful. At the end, we witnessed many go public with their faith in Christ through baptism. I was down in front on Saturday night talking to those who responded to Gene's invitation to walk up and be baptized right then. I wish you could have had the privilege to talk with these people like I did. Through their tears and their joy, you could see the Spirit of God stirring and actively moving in their lives. They were taking a big step to go public with their allegiance and love for Jesus Christ.
What made this weekend even more special was that two members of our neighborhood Table took the plunge and got baptized. What a joy it was to witness Carl & Kathy take another step in their journey of faith in Christ through baptism!
Thanks be to God for His work and activity in our lives, in our community, and in our church!
"But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Corinthians 15:57
In this week when we celebrate Thanksgiving, may we remember and give thanks for the great victory we have in Christ...

Amen! I thought it was so great that Gene was really clear about the idea of not just following the crowd....and I also loved that he called people to take immediate action.
That made me wonder if there were conversations that I need to have calling others to take action....
I wonder if anyone else had that thought while in the service this weekend...
It was an awesome day!
