On Thursday night Penny and I typically meet with a group of young adults to discuss some of the basics of Christianity. This weeks topic, as the schedule would have it, was baptism. It was a very good meeting with lots of good discussion, which you know, if you work with teens, can be hard to come by. All of the young people there were believers, more or less, but none of them had ever been baptized. At the close of the meeting Penny, John Pressdee, and I all had the sense that God had really been pressing on one or two of them, telling them that baptism was in order. None of them said as much, we simply got that impression in the Spirit, as it were.
The irony bit comes in here: Sunday morning is a baptism service at Green Street Green, though these two events were not planned to coincide. And although John is only planning on baptizing one person from the congregation tomorrow, he said he was going to leave the pool open and invite anyone who feels lead to receive baptism on the spot.
If our sense was correct, that God really was convicting one or two of the young people Thursday night, then I'm praying that they follow through on it on Sunday. Whether someone volunteers for it or not, though, I guess I wouldn't be surprised. But come on, that would be pretty cool.
