Falls City Teen Baptized

By Larry Scofield, February 10, 2015

Thirteen-year-old Cody L. Rushing was baptized on Sabbath, Jan. 10, by Lary Brown, Falls City Church pastor.

Rushing began attending the Falls City Church with his grandmother, Vickie Beckley, after she was baptized on March 23, 2012. He enjoyed his Sabbath School teacher, Pat Biro, who is also employed as a Bible worker for the church. He became interested in studying the Bible and in 2014 asked Biro to study the Bible with him. Rushing attended Big Lake Youth Camp last summer, which he enjoyed immensely. When asked why he wanted to be baptized, Rushing responded, “I want to follow the Lord.”
