That Kind of Church

What an incredible night Sunday night!

83 people baptized as an expression of faith.
500+ people celebrating that and hanging out in the parking lot, eating burgers & dogs.
Incredibly vibe-y music from Mark Groutas, Scott Leger, and our band(s).

The first-ever Burgers & Baptism--and certainly not the last--was one of my favorite moments in the life of LHC. Thank you so much to all the people who grilled burgers, set up staging and tables, and made the night so much fun for so many people.

It was just the church being the church. I couldn't help but think about what a blessing it was for all of us who chose to be there...who chose to walk away from the Cowboys-Giants game on TV; who chose to load up kids and family or made sure to be back from a mission trip to Mexico; who chose to make time to honor and celebrate the an eternity-changing commitment to Christ that everyone of those 83 men, women, and children had made.

Thank you for being that kind of church.
