77 youth have accepted Jesus since mid February.
25 new members have joined Charter Oak Church this year, over 75% by confession of faith.
23 confirmands made their public confession of faith.
10 confessions of faith in grades 1-4 this past Sunday.
Average worship attendance is up 11%.
Average Sunday school attendance is up 14%.
These are real people who have said that they want to become more like Jesus in every aspect of their lives down to the last detail. And they want to be a part of this community of faith to partner with them in the journey.
The picture is Pastor Mark and I baptizing four youth in a make shift pool. God is at work here. I am so blessed to be here!

Yes, but we need to brag about it?
You can call it bragging, I will call it celebrating because it is what God is calling us to do. I am simply reporting what is happening. Is it bragging to say that the Israelites walked through the Red Sea on dry land? No, it's celebrating the great work of God in people's lives. That's what I'm doing.
AMEN!
Does scripture brag? Does the writer of the book of Acts boast or simply report what's happening in the church?
"Those who accepted his [Peter's] message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day." Acts 2:41
Sounds like good things are happening!
