Falls City Celebrates Baptism

By Larry Scofield, January 14, 2019

Virginia Elaine Webb was baptized Oct. 6, 2018, in the Falls City Church by Lary Brown, pastor. It was a very special day, as her 95-year-old mother, who had prayed for her all her life and was from the Palmer (Alaska) Church, was present along with all four of Webb's children with their families.

Webb grew up with Adventist grandparents, and her mom was an Adventist. She attended church off and on all her life. She loved Jesus and held to the Adventist beliefs but never really made the commitment to be baptized. She recently became convicted she needed to be baptized. The whole Falls City Church celebrated this special occasion. It's a reminder to “never stop praying for your children.”
