Some think that these are things that only the pastor does, but in fact they are ministries that all of us—in some way, shape, or form—do together. Let me give you my list from our years together: 80 baptisms (and for most of these you, as a congregation, have made promises to support these families too)… 35 weddings (and many of these...
