Baptism

Our little man decided a few months ago he wanted to get baptized. He attended a baptism class to learn the reason why we get baptized. He received some tangible items to remind him of the true purpose. They were a small salt shaker reminding him we are the salt of the earth, a candle representing we are the light of the earth, and a towel to remind us to be servants like when Jesus washed the disciples feet. He is so proud of these items and it helped make the concepts understandable for him.

Right before the baptisms started they showed videos of each person being baptized. They had the opportunity to tell us why they were being baptized. Tennison said it was because he wanted people to know that he loves God and he is his best friend.

Way to go buddy!!



Tennison wanted Scott to baptize him. He asked me to be in the tank too, I was so honored he asked!

We were also fortunate to have my sister and brother in town for it, as well as his Nana & Grandpa. It was a special evening.
