Youthful Enthusiasm & Stevens Baptism

A great day at chuch.  Refeshing and optimistic was the feeling I took away.  We had Steven's baptism and a report from Grace about a youth leadership conference that she went to in Sydney.


Steven's Baptism

 It was an honour to be a part of Steven's Baptism.  For me it was inspirational in that he had chosen this himself.  Most of us get 'done' as babies and of course have not say in it.  But here is a boy, soon to be young man, who has made the decison himself to take this step.  Good on you Steven.

 Here he is greeted by the congregation.  That's Ellie and Jemma on the right.

Every celebration has a cake :)

 Cut with gusto














PM
This evening we are having a youth service. With youthful entusiasm IT IS HAPPENING. It is inspirational to see she has pulled this together.Gone the extra mile so to speak with some little details such as actually getting some chairs down from the hall to facillitate discussion in groups.  Likewise some planning of the feel of the service with an fun (but inane) video at the start.

Band were good.  Service was fun.  

Grace spoke with such enthusiasm of faith and dependance on God.

I actually had had a very busy weekend taxi driving and had not planned to stay for the evening service but it seemed like a good thing to do so I stayed.
