A New Life

We are very excited to share some family news! Cole was baptized this morning at church. During VBS, he began asking a lot of questions about becoming a Christian, so we made an appointment for Cole to talk to our pastor, David Eldridge. On Father's Day, Cole walked the aisle and professed his faith in Christ. Ever since that day, he has been eagerly awaiting his baptism. Along with friends and family, we celebrated his new birth today. Before the baptism, some close friends of ours-the Rankins- shared with us a bottle containing water from the Jordan River, the place where Jesus was baptized over 2000 years ago. What a special gift! Right before the baptism, the water was poured in the baptistry and Bro. David explained that the water present today at our church was just as special as that from the Jordan River--but that the act of baptism was the most important. We will always remember this happy day!
