St. John the Baptist (June 24)

Wednesday, July 27th, 2022

June 24: For the past several years in June on the Nativity of St. John the Baptist (June 24) we have one big celebration of all the children’s baptism days. I used to attempt to mark each of them on the day they occurred but that got to be too much…too much to forget to do! So my solution, one day to mark them all. And…there’s also ice cream. Blessed feast of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist.

A Baptism Celebration

Friday, December 3rd, 2021

November 13: Rose was baptized in the hospital the day she was born but this weekend we were able to celebrate her new life with our friends and congregation. God continues to lavish us with His goodness. We thank Him for all the people He has put into our lives surrounding us with love, prayers, support, laughter and encouragement.

Most especially we thank Him for our dear Rose and the everlasting life she now has in her baptism through Christ’s death and resurrection. What a miracle.

Child of God

Thursday, September 30th, 2021

No baptismal gown, no glorious baptismal hymns sung by our dear congregation on a Sunday morning, no siblings dressed in their Easter White surrounding the font to witness the moment their new baby becomes a new creation. It’s very true, I miss not having all these blessings for our daughter but these are not what make a Baptism. With some sterile water from a syringe and God’s Word, our Heavenly Father gave our baby new life today. Rejoice with us for this second birth! 🕊️

“Renewing Spirit, hear our praise for your baptismal power that washes us through all our days.Come, cleanse again this hour.”

🎗️This morning Rose will have her back closure surgery. Please continue to keep her in prayer

Godparents

July 2: Martin gets to meet his godparents Tony and Becca. Good friends and former church members of ours here. They would have loved to attend the baptism of this guy but they’ve moved to Ohio last Summer and had to miss it. At least we got some time in when they were back visiting!
