Baptizing

Sunday, November 21

 

 

When I saw this view from my seat in our living room on Sunday morning, I knew I had to go outside to take a picture.

 

 

Following worship at our church, family and friends gathered around the baptismal pool to celebrate this happy day.

 

 

Carl Groff (one of our ministers) read a few verses of scripture. No he does not have a color illustrated Bible – that is the bulletin for the day.

 

 

 

 

Another minister Luther Patches administered the rite of baptism to seven of our young people.

Singing Oh Happy Day

O happy day, that fixed my choice
On Thee, my Savior and my God!
Well may this glowing heart rejoice,
And tell its raptures all abroad.

O happy bond, that seals my vows
To Him Who merits all my love!
Let cheerful anthems fill His house,
While to that sacred shrine I move.

’Tis done: the great transaction’s done!
I am the Lord’s and He is mine;
He drew me, and I followed on;
Charmed to confess the voice divine.

Happy day, happy day, when Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray, and live rejoicing every day
Happy day, happy day, when Jesus washed my sins away.
