Baptism

Before I update you on a very important topic, I wanted to let you know you can now download our "Daily Dose of Awesome" on the Parent Resources section of our website. These are follow-up readings that relate to the topics we cover at REALife, and they are a great resource to start spiritual conversations with your son or daughter. I hope you enjoy them.

Coming up the weekend of October 16 & 17 we will be having an all-Meck baptism. Baptism is a very important part of the life of a Christian. It is the visible expression of a life commitment to Jesus as Lord and Savior. In the Bible throughout the entire New Testament we see that every new believer was baptized as a symbol of the decision they have made to follow Jesus. In our current culture, many people have lost site of the value of baptism in the life of a Christian. If your son or daughter, or even anyone else in your family, is a Christian but has not been baptized I would strongly encourage you to look more into this event coming up at Meck. I would love to answer any more questions you might have about it, or we also provide a free cd where our senior pastor Jim White outlines a Biblical view on baptism and answers many of the common questions that most people have. Check out the following link for more information or to register. I hope to see you there. I'll be the guy by the pool cheering you on!
