Sunday, September 8th, is a special day at Sac River Cowboy Church. We will gather again at the Sac River for our annual Baptism at the River after our 10 am services at both our Livestock Center and our Event Center. A map of how to get there is in this newsletter. There will be no 11:30 service at the Event Center.

You still have time to put your name on the baptismal sheets on the tables. That way, we know how many Bibles and baptismal certificates to have at the creek. If you do not decide until that day, don’t let that stop you. It is never too late to make that decision.

Before being baptized, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and His death on the cross for your sins. Confess your sins to God and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. That is between you and God, but Scotty, Mark, Ron, Don, or I will also talk to you if you have questions.

Baptism is a public confession of faith and commitment to Jesus. It is a symbol of His burial and resurrection. Baptism shows that you love, trust, and have put your hope in Christ. Baptism does not save you. Only your faith in Christ does that.

Kids, adults, senior citizens, brothers and sisters, husbands, and wives will be lined up on the gravel bar that day as they wait their turn. Some will hold on to each other while being baptized. For those of us who will be helping to baptize, it is a blessing to watch folks coming toward us into the water and see their faces as they come up out of that water. I encourage you to attend the baptism service and support those taking this step in their Christian life.

After the baptismal service, we will return to our Event Center for great food and fellowship. The church will provide pulled pork, ham and beans, cornbread, and grilled brats. You need to bring side dishes or desserts. Please join us at the river for this important day in the lives of those baptized.
