TURN MIC ON / WELCOME

He is risen! He is risen indeed! As always it’s a joy to be with all of you this weekend at Gateway Church. And there’s one thing I want you to know — and this is true if you’re worshiping with us for the first time — if you’re joining us at our North Main Campus or are with our friends in Bucyrus — I want you to know that God loves you and that I love you too.

SERIES INTRO

And we’re concluding our Easter series this weekend.

BELIEVER’S BAPTISM VOWS

As part of our response to the good news we’ve just heard — we are going to join in celebrating God’s saving work in those who've come to faith in Christ and have yet to be baptized. Christ has commanded his Church to make disciples — and that includes baptizing those who turn to Jesus as their Savior and Lord later in life. And we — the congregation — have a responsibility to all who we baptize and receive into our faith family.

Therefore, “Do you, the members of this congregation, take responsibility for the continued Christian nurture of those being baptized today and do you promise to set a godly example by your own life?” If so, say, "We do."
