2015 BBQ & Baptism | Recap and Photos

, Event

On August 27th, we gathered as a people at Myrtle Edwards Park for our fifth annual BBQ and Baptisms! Seven people shared their testimonies of God’s radical grace in their lives and were baptized. What a stunning celebration highlighting the stories of people changed and changing by the good news of the gospel!

“God saved me, I didn’t save myself… God says that by faith in Jesus I’m saved and I can finally rest.” – Betsy

“I deserve God’s punishment for my sins, but Jesus saved me. He died on the cross for me – He is my Savior and He has authority over my life” – Diogo

“It’s amazing that the God of the universe who created everything would come down for me…” – Aaron

“I deserve God’s wrath for my sin, but Jesus bore that wrath for me and died for me on the cross” – Colin
