Arnett Chapel congregation singing "Shall We Gather at the River"

description

Summary

The deeper holes of the Coal River have long supported the ritual of baptism by immersion in living waters. At the Crane Hole in Arnett, the bank slopes gently enough to allow wading into deep water. Here the congregation of the Arnett Chapel gathers behind the Arnett Fire Hall on a chilly April morning for the baptism of Vicky Jarrell. Reverend Larry Brown faces his congregation, singing "Shall We Gather at the River." The hymn may be heard on an audio clip in this collection.
Event: River baptism of Vicky Jarrell.
