Baptism at Abbeydale a ‘hands-in’ experience

Crestview Fellowship enjoyed a very busy month of June. June is a time of graduations, church picnics, baptisms and church camps—pack it all in before vacations start.
When baptism becomes works righteousness
I must consent to it, but baptism is not essentially about me acting. I am being baptized in the name of Christ. Christ asks each of us, “Can I have you?” When we answer “yes,” the church as the representative of Christ takes us and pours the water of baptism over our heads.

Whether going or coming, God is at work

Navigating pandemic restrictions over the last couple of years has been difficult. Like everyone else, we’re happy to be meeting together again.
