Baptism at Easter Lake and Potluck

Today I was able to do something that I hadn't been able to do since early February - bring my tithe into the storehouse per Malachi 3:10 and I was excited about it.  I was taught to tithe as a very young child and it was automatic for me ever since I earned money to give 10% as my tithe.  But I hadn't been earning money since early February so when Friday rolled around as my first payday at Submittal Exchange the first thing I did after noting my automatic payroll deposit in my check register was write my tithe check.

During church we had testimonies from believers that were going to be baptised after church at Easter Lake and one of those testifying was my friend Lynn's hubby, Ken.  Lynn is the one that invited me to LWF and it's been an amazing story how Ken was saved in February and now he was getting baptised.  But before testimonies, the little kidlets sang a couple of songs - one of my favorites "I'm In The Lord's Army" and they said John 3:16.

After church and after helping with some of tear down, Dad and I headed to Easter Lake to find a spot to put our chairs and visit with people until we had prayer over our food and headed to the beach area for baptism.  It was a little sad - before the prayer a good friend gave a testimony about how much LWF has meant to him this past year because Thursday he will be leaving for Portland, OR for a great opportunity God has given him.  Curt will be missed.

Enjoy the photos of the little kidlets lining up to sing - I was so enthralled watching them sing I forgot to take any more pictures of them - of the baptism service and then church fellowship at the potluck.

At work if you donated a specific amount of money you are able to wear jeans Mon-Thurs, along with Friday being jeans day this week with your donation going to Youth Emergency Shelter Services (Y.E.S.S.).  I made the donation so I'm a wearin' jeans all week :)
