I have always wanted to do an ocean baptism, having seen photos of them from the Jesus revolution of the 1960's in southern California. We joined with a few other churches Sunday for a baptism at the Jersey shore in Avon beach.
It was a beautiful night, but two passing tropical storms had whipped up large waves, among the largest I have seen in NJ. It was hard to baptize people without getting knocked around by the waves in between prayer.
When the baptism ended, our youth pastor Obadiah pulled out his surf board and caught a few waves. He had several long rides- we were all impressed!
