Crave's next baptisms are this week after the message on January 12th.  We provide towels, shorts, photographer, shirt, and plenty of friends to celebrate with!  If you'd like to declare your faith through baptism, come to Crave on Thursday and get DUNKED! 

Here are some reasons why getting baptized is important:

--To follow Christ’s example—“At that time Jesus came from Nazareth and was baptized by John in the river.”  Mark 1:9.

--Because Christ commanded it—“Jesus said, ‘Go then to all people everywhere and make them my disciples, baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and then teach them to obey everything I have commanded you…’”  Matthew 28: 19-20.

--Because it shows you are a believer—“…many of the Corinthians who heard him believed and were baptized.”  Acts 18:8.

--Because obeying Christ’s command shows you know Him—“We know that we have come to know Him, if we obey His commands.”  1 John 2:3

Baptism is a symbol of Christ’s burial and resurrection and a symbol of your new life as a Christian.  E-mail Lisab@saddleback.com if you have any questions!!
