Baptisms!

Hey!

So, this morning I slept in.... Not on purpose... I was supposed to only sleep 7 hours. >.> Anyways... It was rainy... ruin my plans to bike. Anyways... lol. I wasn't going to go to OCBC today. Instead I went to 'myCHURCH'. myCHURCH does not mean the same thing as 'my church'. it is instead the name of a church, or group of people (which is what a church is, a group of believers). They usually have service in a theatre downtown I think, but ya, this morning they were in my Biochem classroom... >.<

Why did I go?

Because DS was getting baptized! !!! =D! So exciting! And her mom got to stay in Canada for it! Ya. This morning 8 individuals proclaimed their faith in Jesus as their savior. Their stories were varying, but they all found life in the death of Jesus and the love poured out for them.

DS said it wasn't a normal service. There wasn't a sermon really, just baptisms. xP. Well, there was what could be called a worship concert and offering before the baptisms. myCHURCH really loves smoke machines and audio-visual stuff apparently. There were 9 people on worship team. The pastor was really 'hip' with his "Tom's" and his plaid shirt and everything. lol...

It was different, but I was told it wasn't a normal service, so I'll let it slide. I hope there is more Bible in it usually then there was this time.

Overall, it was great seeing DS and the others being 'dunked' and like 10 people raised their hand saying that they wanted to accept Jesus into their lives today, so I guess that was good. They proclaimed the gospel throughout the time there.

I guess that was my fourth church that I've been to. Apparently I know a few people that go to it, including IP, a grade 11 student. This blew away my stigma towards myCHURCH as being the church with only university students (there were a number of adults too, just ya, I guess I thought everyone would be older rather than younger..?).

I'm also really excited for MC's baptism next week! (I can't go to it though.... =< )

Ya.

Ttyl.
