On June 1, Anchor Community Church (Fort Wayne, Ind.) baptized six persons. Anchor has held an annual baptism since 2000 at the Stillwater Retreat just south of Fort Wayne. This year they switched to the new home of parishioners Carlos and Linda Palacio, which includes a large pond.
The day started at the church with the regular service, cut a little short. Then everyone headed to the Palacio home. There was a potluck, volleyball, swimming, canoeing, and lots of good fellowship.
The baptismal service was held at 1 pm. Each of the six persons read (or had someone read for them) their testimony of coming to faith in Christ. Then they were baptized in the pond by Pastor Tim Hallman, assisted by someone important to that person’s faith journey.
