BAPTISM CELEBRATION | Sunday @ Swift
"We are called to bless the world. And to bless the world, we gotta be different from the rest of the world." That was the big idea this past Sunday at Swift as we started a new series, Identity Theft. In case you missed it, be sure to check out our podcast. On Sunday we also celebrated the baptisms of Isaiah, Yaheim and Keshawn. Please be praying for them as they start a new life with Jesus.

With frozen custard from Lickity Split, coffee from Metropolis and a photo booth for fun - the night was a huge success. Thank you to everyone who served and helped bless our school!

The week before finals week at Loyola, my friend Jackson and I were joking around, saying how nice it would be to always have food ready-made during the upcoming tough week of exams.
