What a great day for Grant Gallo, his family and friends and our church! Grant was baptized at our beach service yesterday. It was also his birthday. Now he can take with him for the rest of his life a remembrance of his spiritual birthday on the same day as his physical birthday.
Baptisms at the beach are truly a highlight of our entire church year and yesterday was no exception. After dunking Grant in the ocean, we formed a large prayer circle right at the waters edge and asked for God's blessing on Grant's life.
It has been my privilege and honor to be involved in the Gallo's lives for about 10 years now. I've been able to baptize Fran, Gianna and now Grant. After the beach service and baptism the Gallo's once again exhibited their incredible generosity and held a party at their house catered by everyone's favorite Hawaiian food, Da Kines. What a great day! We serve a great a mighty God and yesterday at the beach was very tangible evidence of that.
Thanks to Neil for taking these great photos as well as this great video of Grant being baptized. If you have not yet been baptized, please let us know as we have one more beach service this year.
