On September 19th, our church celebrated its fourth anniversary. We held our annual picnic at the Skinner's house, where the kids had fun on the zip line and the "big kids" had fun playing John's little golf course he has built on his property. Most importantly, we celebrated with a very special baptism (in the Skinner's pool). Jonathan had the honor and privilege of baptizing our dear friend, Joseph Knight, who came to Christ (and as a result Christ Baptist Church) a year ago. Our family has known Joseph for four years now (since he was 16 years old), as he works for Jonathan at the Imagination Station. He is an incredible young man who is so excited about what God is doing in his life. Jonathan and Joseph are not only co-workers, but now they are dear friends and brothers in Christ. I am so glad that my children have gotten to watch the process of God saving Joseph; Joseph's assimilation into our church family; and, his believer's baptism. God is so good!
