Red Deer Church Welcomes 11 Precious Souls
Aunor baptized by Pastor Romy Daquila on January 11, 2020.
The Red Deer Seventh-day Adventist Church is blessed to have several baptism candidates amid the current coronavirus pandemic. In 2020, the church warmly welcomed 11 precious souls in the community of faith — the body of believers. Amen!
The pandemic lockdown opened plenty of time to dig deeper into the Scriptures, seize the moment, focus on the Word, and study how we may become alive as a new creation in Christ. To be born again is the ultimate thing a person can do, and the most prestigious membership one can join is in the body of Christ (see 1 Corinthians 12:27). “Being baptized into His body is being joined to His church, for the church is the body of Christ” (Ellen G. White, Baptism: Its Significance, p. 3).
Through isolation and troublesome times, we trust that Christ's work continues, there will be more baptisms to come, and, by His grace, we will faithfully live through whatever global challenges may hit us moving forward. Let’s welcome them together as a church family:
• Aunor Robles • Matthew Hay • Ma. Socorro Hay • Nathaniel Naphtali Antonio • Katty Antonio • Selemiah Precious Antonio • Shekinah Princess Antonio • Ejhisen Eros Tabilisma • Barbara Jahnigen Afram • John Thomas Joseph Hutlet • Kenneth Eugene Davidson
