~And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”~ -Acts 2:38-39
hayes was baptized on december 16th, exactly 3 years to the day after her big sis.
she cried. imagine that. she was reaching up for our preacher's face and was going to do just fine, but then he, well, he baptized her. not a fan of strange men putting water on her head i guess. it was fine, though. gary asked sk if she wanted to walk down the aisle with them and she said yes. i feel like i was just watching him baptize sarah kate and introducing her to her church family. now it was hayes's turn and baby sarah kate was walking beside him.
i thank God for our church. we are blessed to be a member of this congregation and we feel like we chose a place where our kid's faith will be nurtured and will grow. a place where they will learn & where they are loved and cherished. most importantly we feel that they will have many opportunities to participate in meaningful experiences that will help them see the importance of keeping Christ in the center of their lives.
it was an uplifting day! we were surrounded by "my whole family" as sk would say. we all ate lunch together at one of our favorite mt.pleasant restaurants. i reserved a table in a private area and it was really nice. we really appreciated all of our family driving to charleston during such a busy time of year!
Baptized in water, sealed by the Spirit,
Cleansed by the blood of Christ our King;
Heirs of salvation, trusting the promise;
Faithfully now God's praises we sing.
