Reese's Christening

A few weeks ago we had Reese baptised. As is traditional in the United Methodist Church, babies are baptised and promised to be raised in the church by their parents. After the child makes their own decision to follow Christ, he is confirmed. My sister and I were both baptised in this church, as was my father and possibly my grandmother. It was a very special day for our family. Brother Jim Hamlin, who conducted our wedding ceremony, performed the christening. Our pastor, Ellis, had to be out of town due to a death in the family, so it was appropriate the Bro Jim was there to step in. After the service we had a nice brunch and got to spend some good time with our wonderful families!
