Baptism Service !!! Country Style

[puddlejumper]

[attachment 7262 Bapt.011.jpg]The church that I attend is a small Country Church with about 60 attendance. We had a Baptism service two weeks ago, and since we don't have a baptistry , we do it outside in a new horse trough. We baptised nine souls and all rejoiced with the Angels in Heaven.

Now THAT's a baptism. Growing up in South Arkansas, we did have a baptistry but I also witnessed numerous baptisms in a creek or gravel pit, but I'll have to say, I've never seen one in a horse trough!!!

First time I've ever seen it done in a horse trough! I bet you can get dunked pretty good in that

The church and the people look just great... I wanted to jump right in that picture.

I can't recall, where do you live?

We moved here 12 years ago from Little Rock. You talk about laid back life style, we have it. Thanks for your response.

You know, laid back sounds real nice to me. My life is the TOTAL opposite

Paul,

I went to an awesome auction a few years ago in downtown Batesville in the Historic District where I purchased some very nice Civil War relics. I wish I'd had a lot more money with me! Some of it went for a song. It was one of the most impressive collections I've ever seen from a private individual. Just thought I'd throw that in.
