Our ladies, 79 in all, had a GREAT retreat up in Oak Glenn. A huge thank you to Joanne Wood and her team who did an “amazing” job.

Also, if you didn’t hear, we had 23 people baptized yesterday! Yep, 23. We already have more lined up for the next couple of weeks. It was just amazing to watch people jump out of their seats, even though they hadn’t come prepared to do that, and go take that life changing plunge.

The other highlight was that our Sunday services were full. So many people who came for the first time at the stadium last week came back this week. So many great stories are coming out of our Easter service.

Carl Smith shared his story as a part of the weekend message. If you missed it, you need to check it out. Hopefully the message will be online later today.

Here’s the verse I posted before the weekend. I wanted you to read it one more time:

“Or have you forgotten that when we were joined with Christ Jesus in baptism, we joined him in his death? For we died and were buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the Father, now we also may live new lives.” (Romans 6:3-4 NLT)

NEW LIFE is happening all around us at Community. Feeling blessed!
