42 Baptized at Picnic & Baptisms
On Sunday, June 14th we gathered at Crescent Park for BridgePointe’s annual Picnic and Baptisms. We were blessed with great weather and a wonderful time together — there was a bounce house for the kids, lawn games set out, and people all through the grass bowl picnicking together.
Then after singing a few worship songs, and hearing parts of their baptism stories, we witnessed 42 people walk into the water of Narragansett Bay and be baptized — that was in addition to another baptism during services in the morning! There were so many amazing stories represented — people baptizing coworkers who they invited to come to church with them, parents and children, spouses saying yes to Jesus after years of prayer.
This is what we’ve been talking about when we launched our two year giving initiative, Rising Tide — God is doing a great work among us and we praise Him for it and are praying for even more of a Gospel impact on our community through BridgePointe.
We hope you enjoy the slideshow below and ask that you keep everyone who was baptized in your prayers.
