Unfortunately, creek banks change to such a degree as to make regular creek baptisms an infrequent event. But even the young people think it's unique. I like it. You know, Jesus was baptized in the River Jordan. I guess baptizing someone in Elm Creek smacks of the early ministry of Jesus.
Church members are proud of the baptisms they've overseen in Elm Creek.
After all, that's where all the water goes. We've been sending blessings their way. Many folks in Elm Valley, perhaps the most picturesque part of Taylor County, feel the same way about the little white church on the hilltop along Highway 89. E.W.
