Baptisms and Church services in barns...

the W's barn...it's humongous...and can't wait for the square dancin' hoe down...(the pool, not pictured here, is to the left of the tree...)


Molly was quite excited to see her fave, Courtney...could we adopt you, CS? you are adorable and my kids LOVE you! so great to see you.



David had the opportunity to baptize E and Mel...and he even got to go first...which made him nervous because he was hoping to watch a few of the other fathers so he'd know "exactly" how to word it. ha ha. if you know David, you know this lack of confidence is kinda cute. so awesome to be a part of this service today...we love our Horizon family.



Buried in the likeness of Christ's death...


raised in the likeness of His resurrection...






ok, bring her up..



after the baptism service, a few brave folks, like David here, wanted to enjoy the 82 degree pool. This one needs to work on his form. yowza!



Mel's artwork...good work, M.





Mel and E. got baptized this afternoon. awesome to see and be a part of.

Our church is currently without a building of it's "own"...so one of the co-pastors hosted today's baptism service/lunch...the in-ground pool was lovely and warm. Afterwards, yum food and the biggest hot dogs ya ever did see...I should have gotten a picture of them...


Ok, I'm sleepy but hope this finds you and yours ready for the start of this week...our week promises to be quite busy and exhilarating...Natalie, enjoy your last week as a singleton...can't wait for the upcoming wedding!! pictures galore, I'm sure...happy last day of summer to you...

Hey there Laurie! Just got caught up on all of your recent posts, I haven't been able to check recently. Sounds like you all have had fun and been busy. Would that Steph H. be my lovely cousin by any chance? I heard that she is doing a great job as a hairdresser but that is all I know.
((hugs))
