It was quite a day in the life of Granger Community Church on Sunday. Between 2pm and 6pm yesterday, approx. 300 people were baptized and welcomed into the family here at GCC. It was definitely a first time experience for me to see so many people come and take part in a huge celebration. Even though it rained most of the time (sprinkled and poured) that did not stop the thousand or so people in attendance, some bringing tents and almost all bringing blankets, umbrellas, and food. It was like a huge tailgate party but not for a huge sporting event like most people were doing on the opening day of the NFL. It was for a baptism and to celebrate the public confession of faith of hundreds of people. It just seems right. Almost like a scene from the New Testament. People gathering at the edge of the water to watch and eat and celebrate the decisions of those being immersed. I will try to get some pics up of the event so you can have somewhat of a visual of the event. The Kingdom of God is growing!!!
