Stillwater Sunday

For over ten years, Anchor Community Church has held an annual service at the Stillwater Retreat on the south side of Fort Wayne, Ind. The event begins with a worship service and concludes with a potluck meal and fun times at the camp. But the highlight is the baptismal service. After a message from Pastor Tim, everyone heads down to the lake, where they sit on the dock or stand on the shore as various people share their testimonies and then walk into the lake to be baptized.

On June 3, 2012, around 180 people gathered at Stillwater to watch 10 persons be baptized. It was a thrilling Sunday!

Conducting the baptisms were Pastor Tim Hallman and associate pastor Matt Kennedy, with the assistance of several laypersons. Each person gave his/her testimony about how Jesus had changed their life, and why they were taking this step of baptism.

Hundreds of photos of the event were posted on Anchor’s Facebook page: photos of the service, the baptisms, and miscellaneous photos.
