Oak Forest Baptist Church, Somerville, members gathered at the Bluff City boat landing Sept. 10 to baptize four new believers in the Tennessee River. Three of the four being baptized were siblings ranging in age from 10 to 16 — India, Brooks and Addie Dillard — and the fourth was Neville Brooks. Both of Neville Brooks’ legs were injured in an automobile accident, and his father was able to help him maneuver his walker in the water so he could get baptized. Pastor Jimmy Smith said, ‘It is always a joyful time when one accepts the Lord as Savior and is obedient in baptism, but God just blessed us above measure on this day.’
