Psalm 20 ESV

May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble!
    May the name of the God of Jacob protect you! 

May he send you help from the sanctuary
    and give you support from Zion!
May he remember all your offerings

    and regard with favor your burnt sacrifices! Selah


May he grant you your heart's desire
    and fulfill all your plans!

May we shout for joy over your salvation,
    and in the name of our God set up our banners!
May the Lord fulfill all your petitions!


Now I know that the Lord saves his anointed;
    he will answer him from his holy heaven
    with the saving might of his right hand.

Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
    but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

They collapse and fall,
    but we rise and stand upright.


O Lord, save the king!

    May he answer us when we call.

Shannon's Baptism | Barrington

March 28, 2025
At my baptism, I shared my testimony with The Orchard Barrington, and I am so excited to share a bit about my journey leading up to this moment. In middle school, I decided to come to faith at the Orchard Winter retreat. During worship service, I became so overwhelmed by the love for Jesus I felt by everyone around me and made the decision to commit my life to him. Since then, having gone through the majority of my time in High school, it has been hard balancing my faith and desire for Jesus, with the worldly ideas and attitudes I often feel so surrounded by. I have been challenged by the comparison, loneliness, and jealousy that can often seem to overshadow God's presence in my heart.

Barbara May Baptism | Arlington Heights

February 13, 2025
At my baptism, I shared how God has worked in my life, and how He continues to work to this very day. I was baptized as an infant in the Catholic church and had some early religious upbringing. I always knew of God and cannot remember a time without this faith. However, I took it for granted. I did not live my life in relationship with Christ; rather I lived in utter disobedience. I was a sinner, and while a sin is a sin, I counted many of mine as absolutely unforgiveable. I never humbled myself to even ask for forgiveness. I just kept living my wild life. I would cry out to him for help when I was in dire straits, and despite my sinful ways …. he would rescue me. Time and time again.
