First Baptist Blog

As much as I love progress and change, I am still old-school about some things.  For example, I still pay most of my bills by writing checks from a checkbook and putting them in the mailbox.

A couple of weeks ago, our church held a “beach baptism” at Wrightsville Beach.  Because we are a Baptist church, we practice baptism by immersion.

We have a pretty large yard at our house in beautiful Wallace, NC.  There are dozens of trees and bushes and several “natural areas” where we gave up on trying to grow grass. 

This past Sunday our church kept an Easter tradition of many years by celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus with a sunrise service at Airlie Gardens.
