Dad's Turn

In back of day camp and YBC, we've been privileged to witness nine baptisms in the last two weeks at Woodward Park. And one of the real blessings has been to watch dad's role in the new birth.

Every precious child enters this world courtesy of mom. But in the delivery room that is baptism, dad has the opportunity to deliver his child into new birth in Christ. In the last two weeks, we've witnessed Michael and Sierra, Grady and Garrett, Ariana and Rich, Scott and David, and last night, Kevin and Tyler. What a blessing to see these dads in the water with their child, delivering them in baptism into the eternal care of the Father.
