Summer baptisms

Posted on 03. Aug, 2010 by in Inspiration

Last week we baptized close to 30 kids after one of our services. It was a beautiful time.

One of my favorite parts about this baptism were the number of parents being baptized because their kids were taking this step. Several parents decided to be baptized as a family because their child had been “bugging” them about it.

I always encourage parents to baptize their children. After saying that at the last baptism class, one of the parents asked if it was okay if they baptized their child even if they haven’t been baptized. I asked them why, they hadn’t been baptized. No good reason. So, on baptism day, I had the honor of baptizing both mom and dad before they turned around and baptized their daughter. Simply beautiful!

Enjoy the video montage of the baptism day.
