On Easter Sunday at Peartree Road Baptist Church Derby something special happened. The baptismal pool was opened, filled with life giving water and heated ready for fifteen people, who had decided to commit their lives to Christ, to be baptised. Nine from our sister church Forward in Faith, who also use our premises to worship and six from our church.
The air was electric, people flocked to witness this amazing and special event.
During the service the candidates gave their moving testimonies and pledged their love of God and willingness to follow Jesus. We clapped and cheered as each person went through and came out of the water.
It was a joyous occasion with singing and praising the Lord. Then afterwards fellowship with food and refreshments.
Praise the Lord. What a wonderful day had by all. God bless all of you and may you grow in His love.
