Water & fire on a Sunday morning.

What a great Sunday we had - 4 people baptised, lots of friends, family and guests, Dan Marshall speaking for the first time, a great new dvd about the Gift Day, 5 people responding to follow Jesus and a fire alarm!
The day began messily with no hot water for the baptism pool. To their credit the baptism candidates were happy to proceed anyway in very cold water. Their testimonies were both powerful and moving. Dan's own story of binge-drinker to Jesus is amazing. Even the emergency evacuation of the building into the car park for 30 minutes did not dampen the good spirit and atmosphere of the morning. Fortunately it was not a real fire.
Once again I am thrilled and humbled with such a committed and talented Team that make challenging and memorable Sundays like this one happen.
