Old Fashioned Service and Baptism

It has been quite a long time since anything was updated on this blog. As the "keeper of the blog", the fault is entirely my own and I apologize to all those who are and were regular readers. Setting all that aside, Bible Baptist Church celebrated its first annual (we hope) Old Fashioned Day. It was a time to reflect upon "the old paths" and get back to the way that things used to be, complete with old fashioned attire (somewhat) and dinner on the grounds. We also held our first ever baptistmal service in our own baptistry, which, thanks to several men of the church and all of their dedication and hard work, is finally in working order. The Holy Spirit moved during the service and one man walked the aisle during the song service and got saved. Another young lady got saved after the service. It was also a wonderful blessing to see Bro. Manuel and Sister Bernice Colwell be baptized along with Hope Whitson's son, who made a decision to be baptized during the invitation. Bro. Jim Bradley preached a great message during Sunday School on the old landmarks and was followed during the main service by Bro. Leon Richardson, who preached on the old paths. The Lord truly blessed the day and he deserves all the honor and glory for what went on! May we see many more days like today at Bible Baptist Church! Praise the Lord!
