Wow - what a great sunday!
7 people baptized from Watermark and a guest who decided to go public right there at poolside!
Anyways it was amazing! Baptisms are always my favorite because they are full of stories.

Steve T. did a great job with a groups orientation following the gathering. I am extremely excited about where we are heading with groups. We are ripping off New Life Church in Colorado - we are using a West Michiganized version of their system. For more info or understanding go to:

Check it out and read about it. Good thoughts on de-centralizing ministries and helping people far from God make the connection.

So overall a great day - our small group rocks and Alicia is doing a tremendous job at organizing us. Baptisms! Great team! Groups getting going! God is blessing and it is all because of Him! Wo to me if I ever feel like it's me!

Well - tomorrow I'm doing the message prep. thing. :)
