Thank you.

Everyone

All right.

Everybody

Yeah.

Thank you.

Come up.

All the

all of my

all all Before we jump into the Proclamation of God's Word, I just want to take a moment to just celebrate if you're in the room, if you're in the overflow right now.

If you're watching online and you were

here two weeks ago we want to celebrate the thousand plus men women who thank Jesus So for those of you who are watching right now, those of you who are sitting in the overflow and are in this room who were baptized at the last time we gathered, we celebrate you.

We know that you left some things in that watery grave

and that you are living today a great new life in the Lord Jesus Christ.

And we thank God for you passing through those waters of baptism.

I also want to take a moment to just honor all of our staff and our servant leaders

who served so faithfully last week.

That was the first time we've ever done anything on that scale.

We baptized 500 plus people on Saturday morning, another 500 on Sunday morning, and that could not be done without all of the servant leaders and those who sacrificed who showed up early, set up and breakdowns.

So we just shout out to all of our staff and our servant leaders of servants so faithfully.

And then to another group of people who oftentimes does not get honored, scripture talks about them as having a gift to do this.

And some of us have just a heart to do this.
