Pansy rejoices at creekside baptisms
By Betty Barkman
June 21, 2026, was one memorable morning! What could be better than joining with hundreds of others, each on our lawn chairs, gathering for a baptism service down by the creek?
This year the Lord blessed us with special bonuses—our surroundings of beautiful greens, gorgeous sunshine, and no mosquitoes, while the improved sound system and the newly created portable stage helped us hear all the testimonies clearly. Together we worshipped and praised Jesus; God is so good. Together we watched the baptisms and cheered on each candidate. Together we pray for their continued courage and perseverance as they go on in this new stage of life.
