Today was SO amazing. Just another reason why Sunday is my favorite day of the week.
Today was the first week of the series Awakening at church today, and Pastor Furtick decided it was time again for a spontaneous baptism. His preaching was on FIRE today. At the service I went to at least 60 people got up to be baptised right on the spot. That’s a lot for the 8:30 crowd. We’re one of the smallest, if not the smallest, service. It was so amazing to experiece. The energy in the room was so awesome.
After service I stopped home for a little bit then headed over to Butler to help out with the trnasition there, because I knew there’d be a lot of kids staying late and they’d need as much help as they could get. I stepped out of the room to get me and Teri some water and the baptism prospects were leaving the auditorium. Every one was cheering. Then I saw Dannie!!
She decided to get baptised! Her parents were strongly against it before the sermon, but, oh my gosh, THEY DECIDED TO GET BAPTISED TOO. She had been baptised as a baby, and her parents were all about her rededicating her life to Christ of her own choice. That’s one of the big things Pastor Furtick preached on today. I was so excited for her.
I waited outside for her to get dunked, and ran up to her afterward and got a big sopping wet post-baptism hug. I love that girl so much and I am so happy I got to be there when she made this huge decision in her life. Her mom was crying and her dad was holding her hand the entire way until it was her turn. It was so amazing.
Second service I helped out with getting people registered for the next round of baptisms. The energy is amazing. People crying. People screaming. People laughing. Pictures everywhere. Every one was so excited for every one.
All around amazng day. Next week they’re doing another set of spontaneous baptisms, I dare you to miss it. It was so amazing this week. The preaching. The yelling. The dunking! Haha. I can’t wait to see how pastor motivates people next week ot make one the most important decisions in their lives. It was so amazing.
