This was taken from Pastor Rick’s News and Views – Saddleback Church. Dear Saddleback Family, I’m not sleeping much. I’m too excited. THIS SATURDAY, March 28, will be THE GREATEST DAY in Saddleback’s history. OVER 2,000 people have already signed up to become members of our church family on a single day!  They’re joining me for: BREAKFAST, BAPTISM & CLASS 101 WITH PASTOR RICK THIS SATURDAY AT 8:30 AM TO NOON IN THE WORSHIP CENTER. SIGN UP TODAY! Two thousand years ago – the Day of Pentecost was the first day of the Christian Church. Acts 2:41 tells us, “About 3,000 people were baptized and joined the church that day.” If you’ll join us this weekend, history could be repeated at Saddleback!  Want to make history? Which of these requirements do you need to complete this Saturday? 1.  Open your heart to Jesus Christ. Click here to learn more. 2.  Attend Class 101: Discovering Your Church Family. Sign up. 3.  Sign our membership covenant (explained in class). 4.  Be baptized the way Jesus commanded and modeled for us. (Many of us were baptized as kids on our parent’s faith. Jesus modeled believer’s baptism at age 30 when he was baptized in the Jordan River) It would be my privilege to baptize you after Class 101. YOU CAN FINISH ALL 4 REQUIREMENTS IN ONE DAY – THIS SATURDAY! EIGHT REASONS TO JOIN THIS SATURDAY & NOT PROCRASTINATE: 1.  I’m personally teaching Class 101 for the first time in ten years. 2.  I’m personally baptizing after Class and you’ll receive a photo & baptism certificate. 3. You’ll get a free one...
