Huge Crowd....25 Baptisms

As my son would say....."Last night was Beast!" It was great to listen to the stories of all those who were baptized. From those who had never really been in church to those who went as kids but stopped going after high school...to some of our kids who have recently confessed Christ....all the stories were great.

I personally had a great time as I was able to baptize another boy that I have been coaching on our football team for three years. The bonus was that his dad, who also coaches with me, was also baptized. Even the older sister was baptized. Other coaches, leaders, and players from MARA who have also been impacted by God at Team Church were baptized too. It was a great night!

This Sunday starts a great new message series. It is a small 3 part series that will help to answer the questions that surround God's answers to our prayers. As you know, God answers prayers. However, not always the way we had hoped or not in the time frame we desire. Why is that?

When we pray....God will answer NO, SLOW or GO! How do you know the answer? Why does God answer in such ways. How do we know the will of God when we pray? We will be looking at this over the next few weeks? Here is the link on our website that you can look at and share with a friend!

Bring a friend....and we will see you Sunday!



“When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get. 6 But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.

“When you pray, don’t babble on and on as people of other religions do. They think their prayers are answered merely by repeating their words again and again. Don’t be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him! Pray like this:

Our Father in heaven,
may your name be kept holy.
May your Kingdom come soon.

May your will be done on earth,
as it is in heaven.

Give us today the food we need,
and forgive us our sins,
as we have forgiven those who sin against us.

And don’t let us yield to temptation,
but rescue us from the evil one.

Matthew 6:4-13
