Baptism

When I first started attending Pawleys Island Baptist Church over 20 years ago, any baptisms were done in the creek/salt marsh behind Pawleys Island, because that was our only option. The church was tiny and we only had about 50 members.

Now that we've grown (check the link for Pawleys Island Community Church on the right) we still do our baptisms in the creek - and I'm so glad we do. It's a testimony to all the people at the beach and a true public profession of faith.

Here are a couple more pictures from yesterday - 13 people - men, women, children - publicly professed their faith in Jesus Christ.





Yesterday was beautiful. We've been out there sometimes in nasty weather, but except for a little wind sandblasting us, it was great. Wonderful to be celebrating faith in the midst of God's amazing natural glory.
