Our Long Weekend

Josh and I had a very memorable long weekend. We spent Saturday to Monday out at our church's family camp, playing fun games, and enjoying great fellowship with everyone . The highlight was on Sunday when Josh and 5 other people were baptized in the lake. It is always so encouraging to see fellow believers take a step in their walk with God, and declare to everyone how they want to live for Him. The service was amazing and it was great that many of Josh's family were there to share in the joyous occasion.

A couple of our youth also got baptized which was very exciting. One of the girls requested we sing Brian Doerksen's, "The River" as she walked out into the water. It was a very emotional moment.

Ephesians 3: 16-21

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
