How my Church screwed up in my baptism process and I have decided to forgo it and have a friend baptize me in Grapevine Lake during the month of June! (2004).
I was ready,ready to turn my life over to God. I had been saved on the night of November 16th, 2003 at exactly 11:00pm! It was a wonderful feeling! I even took a class to prepare! Then I waited. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing as the days and weeks went by. Then Baptismal Day-January 4th, 2004, I had NOT made a Video yet, so I could not get baptized. The video was my introduction to the congregation. It was Only supposed to last a minute. The Church has really let me down. I am making up for it in June,however. My friend who happens to be a Pastor, is coming up from Houston and is baptizing me, by immersion, in Grapevine Lake! I am more comfortable with that idea, than parading in front of the church, When I do not know many people!
Thank you Robin, Kristina, Julie and David, Lori and Jon, Bethany and Heather!
