Child of God...

Aaron was baptized a few weeks ago at our church in Iowa City.  We were a little afraid he might be fussy fussy baby through the service, but our pastor assured us that no one would mind, least of all God. :)

Aaron is the first child that Pastor Connie has baptized in our church.  She was just installed a few weeks ago, so that makes us feel kind of special.
She didn't minced on the water either!  Good thing Aaron likes having his head washed in the bath cause he got good and baptized!!!

After the sacrament was performed, Aaron even let Pastor Connie introduce him to the congregation.  Welcome Child of God!

Aaron with his sponsors Becky and Chris.  Sad that Amy and Peter (also sponsors) couldn't join us but it would have been a pretty far journey from Salt Lake City.

  1. What a glorious event! Always brings a tear to my eye for a couple to be reminded that their child BELONGS TO GOD and HE entrusted YOU with his care. What an awesome responsibility! I have no doubt you are up to the task. God bless all of you!

    1. Thank you for the blessings Nancy! It was a glorious event and we are thankful to have such a large support network as we undertake the responsibility of bringing Aaron up in the church.
