Baptism

Payton was baptized this past Sunday, June 24.  It was a very exciting day for us! 

Both my kids accepted Jesus as their personal Savior at the age of five (which was even more exciting!). But we wanted them to wait until they were old enough (and it be their idea) to make this public declaration for their love and trust in Jesus Christ. 

"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. "Matthew 28:19

                                     Praying after she was emerged into the baptismal.

                             Here Pastor Chase was quoting a special verse he chose for her.

Landon was baptized (also at the age of 13) in the Gulf of Mexico. It was so special that he was able to emerged into God's very own baptismal....the sea! :) 

“We may never be martyrs but we can die to self, to sin, to the world, to our plans and ambitions. That is the significance of baptism; we died with Christ and rose to new life”  ~ Vance Haver
