I helped hitch up our baptism trailer this morning.<\/p>\n

We have a portable baptistry stored in a trailer. We are one of three churches that went in together to share the cost of owning a portable baptistry and a trailer. We decided from the start that we would share this with any new church that needed it. After all, we’re in this together.<\/p>\n

So, when Pastor Don Brown from the Village Church at Holly Springs<\/a>\u00a0called asking to borrow our baptistry, we were thrilled to do so. Pastor Don planted a church near Raleigh that meets at Holly Springs Elementary School. They have some new believers that want to get baptized during the holidays. I think that’s a wonderful idea.<\/p>\n

This morning I met Pastor Don and his friend Anthony at the CCS parking lot. We got the baptism trailer hitched up and I handed over the keys.<\/p>\n

“Go get some people wet for Jesus!” I shouted, as we parted ways.<\/p>\n

They’ll have no excuse now that the water has traveled to them “along the road.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
