This is my Joy

Meet Paul.  Not long ago he became a baptized follower of Christ.  His little sister, Mari, pulled up a chair and got a front row seat to his new life. Would big brother actually live out this faith thing?  Would the spiritual hype wear off?  Would the fire fade away?  Evidently not.  A few weeks ago at Maryland Community Church, Paul jumped into the water with Mari.  The baptized became the baptizer.

That. Fires. Me. Up.

Welcome Mari.  Someone just pulled up a chair to your life.  Let’s keep this thing going.
