Heaven's Rejoicing

Every church has their own set of traditions. At our church we always have a service the night before Thanksgiving where we sing songs and anybody can give a testimony of what the Lord has done in their life over the past year. This is always a rich and memorable time for us as a church family.

This year we are adding another feature to this Thanksgiving Eve service. We are going to have baptisms as a part of our time together. We have a number of people who want to give testimony of God’s saving work in their lives through the act of baptism. I’m looking forward to hearing their expressions of thanks as they get baptized.

I also anticipate that those at the service will express their own thanks to the Lord as they hear the testimonies of those being baptized. Heaven rejoices when one sinner repents and so should we.
