Today is going to be a huge day for us here at The Orchard as we baptize over 100 people at our annual BBQ & Baptism!
This is THE summer event for our church community every year. Catered BBQ dinner, live bluegrass band, TONS of games for the kids - and then a huge mass exodus over to the water park next door where we have our baptism service.
It's going to be a great day! Will hopefully post some photos late tonight or tomorrow.
That is awesome, Scott!!! I love that approach. I've always enjoyed outdoor baptisms because they are more intimate than someone getting into a tank ten feet above the stage and separated from the congregation. Not only that, but baptism is meant to be a public testimony. I love the idea of having a big party and including fun stuff for the kids. I'll have to steal that idea...

I'm fired up about this and I"m not even there. Heck, I considered getting baptized again just to join in on the festivities!!
Maybe we could link our macs up and I could get dunked again via iChat video!!
Praying you guys have a great day and this is a great stake in the ground in the life of your church!
