God surprisespeople too.He held up a sheet of paper with a lot of road signs on it. Road signs guide people to where they are going. The scriptures are like road signs as they guide along life’s way. The choir sang the anthem, Because He Lives. Elizabeth Herman, Jessica Sparling, Anne Elliott and Barb Richmond sang the verses and the choir joined in on the chorus. One of the verses was dedicated to Asher Clark, the baby to be baptized. Rev. Clark’s message to the adults was, Ah to be Born Again. The term Born Again only appears once in the Bible. Jesus talks more about love, prayer and many other things. Many people’s lives have changed because of their faith in Jesus. People are born again when they hold their newborn baby. Life changes in many ways. The 10 Commandments are aguide to life. Jesus asks people to be BornAgain with love and to follow the 10Commandments.Ross and Shawna Clark, theparents, were asked to come forwardand present Asher Allan CharlesClark for baptism. Rev.
