water from around the world
As people begin to feel comfortable traveling again, we'll be continuing our baptism project by collecting water from around the world. Click the image to see a list of places where water has already been collected. If you are going to a place not currently represented, we invite you to collect water in a small, sealed container. Write your name along with the state or country from which the water was collected and drop it off on Sunday morning or evening during worship or drop it by the church office. We look forward to seeing where your travels take you!
