Molly's Baptism

Here Molly is confirming her beliefs and testifying before the congregation.

She sang a solo, then there was a sermon followed by Molly's baptism.

Here is the video.

The elders of the church ended the service by praying for Molly.

On August 9th my niece followed the steps of Christ into the waters of baptism.





Little sis Alaina is always good to give her Aunt Christy a smile.

Tyler's Baptism

On May 2, our nephew Tyler was baptized. The whole family was there. The service that day was dedicated to the SDA school and the children all performed wonderfully.

Here we have Tyler answering questions affirming that he understood what baptism is about.

The children playing the hand bells. Molly is right in front of me. I didn't get a picture of Tyler playing because well the song was shorter than I was expecting it to be.

Here the children are singing one of the many songs that they sang.

Molly telling the main Bible story that the sermonette was about. She and Tyler worked together.
Tyler explaining the Bible story and what lesson it held for us to learn.
The Certificate of Baptism being given to Tyler. Not that he needs a piece of paper to say that he was baptized but it is nice to have as a reminder of such a wonderful day.

Nicholas's Baptism

Here are the pictures and video from my nephew's baptism. Nicholas was baptized three weeks ago. Wow I can't believe how much time has gone by but this week without internet has not helped on keeping up with my blogging. Hopefully I will have my internet back soon so that I can keep up better. I have been going to my grandparents and bootlegging theirs so I can keep up a bit but I can't do this everyday. So this is what I have for now.

These two images are from before he was baptized.

Here is the video of Nicholas being baptized.


These two are from after he came up out of the water.

And this last image is from after the service at the small fellowship they had afterwards.

Skylar's baptism

Wow. I can't believe it has been a week since I last posted and those images were from the week before that. So in the past two weeks not much has happened here. Just the same things for the most part. Our one main highlight this past week is from last Sunday. My niece Skylar was baptized. She was saved a few years ago during a vacation bible school at another church than our own. The local church around the corner from me was having VBS so I decided to take my cousin who was staying with me for the week and invited my sister to bring my nieces. I hadn't had my kids yet. My cousin was also saved that same day.

So a few Sunday's ago Skylar approached our pastor and asked him about being baptized. Now she did this all on her own. I was there and was a little surprised because I didn't realize that she realized what baptism was or what it represented in the life of a believer. Well this past Sunday she followed the Lord in the waters of baptism. As our pastor said "she can say she did it the old fashioned way, in cold water," this is because the heater was not working correctly on the baptistery and so the water was cold and not heated to a comfortable temp. Now I have to say I was waiting and watching for Skylar's reaction as she stepped into the water. This girl never even flinched walking into the cold water. However after being baptized you do see a small hint as to the temperature of the water being cold.

At the bottom of the page is a video of the event. I have included the few pictures that I took as well. Sorry they are dark. I am still trying to figure out the right setting for my camera in our church. They have installed those fluorescent lights and even with setting the white balance for them and using a full open f-stop, I am still getting dark photos inside the church. I have a few more things to play with and hope to have this fixed before the next time that I post images from a church event.

Affirmation of her salvation.
