Being Baptized Sunday

Kaitlyn Shelton and Miranda Andrews are joining the church Sunday. Kaitlyn will be baptized Sunday morning. Read her testimony below:

I went to a Christian school at the age of three and have heard about Christ my entire life. My grandmother who came to Christ after fleeing Cuba helped my parents raise me and talked about God every day. In elementary my mother told me to ask Jesus into my heart if I did not want to go to hell. I did so, but I did not really understand what it meant. As middle school student, I was required to go to Bible classes. Each year I learned more about God and His mercy. By the end of middle school I realized that I no longer wanted to just know about Christ. I wanted to have a personal relationship with Him.

The next school year I attended Warrior Week. During the first week of school, all the high school students are brought together to worship, have fun, and meet each other instead of attending classes. During that week we were asked if we wanted to accept Christ as our personal Savior. We prayed a prayer together. As the school year continued, I was able to ask my high school Bible teachers questions I had about God.

I started going to Christ Community on and off last school year. My biggest reason for not going was because I needed to ask for rides. I felt like I was putting people out by doing so. Later on that year I was given rides by my friend, Miranda (pictured above). I have not met many people outside of RUF at Christ Community and am trying to work on that a little more this year.
