Calvary Austin in the news!
In case you missed the baptism yesterday, we got some love from the Austin American Statesman and Fox 7 News. See Statesman photos of the event here. Watch Fox 7 video here.

Baptism today!
This afternoon we will baptize as many as 100 people at Emma Long Metropolitan Park. Hundreds of worshipers will gather on the shore of Lake Austin and, at 3 p.m., those being baptized will begin making their way into the water. This is the way followers of Christ "go public" with their faith, by going deep in the baptismal waters.
ABOUT THE WEATHER: It rained early this morning and it looks like another round of showers is on the way. Hopefully it will clear out before the baptisms begin. But here's the thing: It's a baptism - you're supposed to get wet! And here's a little secret about Lake Austin: the water, usually very cold, is much warmer after a good rain.
CHURCH TOMORROW: You don't want to miss church tomorrow. Guest artist Toby Walters will lead worship. And we will continue our summer series - revelation - by looking at what Revelation 8-9 tell us about the future on planet earth.

Baptism
With our summer baptism less than two weeks away, we did something we've never done before. We took an entire weekend to talk about baptism. At our weekend worship gatherings, we answered the questions you may be asking. Where does baptism come from? What does it mean? Who should be baptized? How does Calvary Austin do it? When should I get baptized? In case you missed it, you can watch it here. You can also find a link to highlights of last summer's baptism here. If you are a follower of Christ and you've never been baptized, then join us at Emma Long Park Saturday, June 16. This is church-wide event. Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend. Picnic starts at 11 a.m. with live music and baptisms at 3 p.m.
