Amen. Amen. We love life change around here. Those were videos from our June baptism. We were able to

baptize over 200 people who were proclaiming and publicly declaring that Jesus Christ is our Lord and

Savior. And that never gets older around here. That's why we do what we do every weekend, every week.

And so we're going to show those as long as we can. Like, that's the goal

of what we're doing. Hey, I'm Pastor Ryan Stone. I'm one of the pastors here on staff. If we haven't

met yet, then we'll have that opportunity at the end of the service. We have a lot of work to do

today. Before we do that, though, I need to introduce you to a new member of our staff family.

And I need to introduce you to Logan Ray Hall.

This is Logan Ray right there.

The daughter of James and Stephanie Hall.

And I texted James when he sent me this picture and I said, thank God for beautiful wives who help create beautiful daughters because

James and I are in the same category without a beautiful woman. We're in trouble if our kids just

looked like us without some mama's beauty. And so we're adding that. I feel like we're doing this

every other week. Like we're a fertile staff bunch right now. And we anticipate in nine months following the end of the Song of Solomon

series for that rate to only grow. I need to tell you this as if we called a bass. She was

seven pounds, nine ounces. She is 19.5 inches. She's unable to ride any rides at Disney World right

now. But that's James and Stephanie Hall.

And let me just tell you who James is, because some of you, you don't know them.

James is one of our pastor residents, which means this.

James had a full-time paying job, and he laid it aside.

He quit his job because he feels God's calling him to be in pastoral ministry.

And so for two years, he is raising his own support and he's training and learning how to be a pastor here at the church 1122.
