Austin's Baptism

It was a very special day today because Austin was baptized. I was a little nervous that he would throw a fit, but he did great! I think that he was happy that he was finally allowed to be the center of attention at church! (He tries his best to steal the limelight away from the pastor each Sunday) We are very grateful for our wonderful church family and all of the support that they give us. They presented Austin with a beautiful banner for his room that is symbolic of the church's belief in the Sacrament of Holy Baptism. The meaning of baptism is explained by the Apostle Paul in Romans 6:3-4, "Do you not know that all of who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life."
