Lane's Baptism

Lane was baptized this weekend among her friends and family at Jubilee Christian Church.  We are so proud of her and excited to see her growing in her faith in Jesus.

A few months ago, she said that she would like to be baptized.  At that time, we told her that she could choose whether she'd like to do that here at our church in Maidenhead, or wait until the summer when we could do it with our extended family in California.  She chose to go ahead and go for it here.  While we were (of course) missing friends and family being present, it was really neat to see her make this decision for herself, and choose to follow when she felt God prompting her to do something!

It was a very special day.  After she was dunked, several people at the church shared bible verses and encouragement with her.  I wrote a song for all of those being baptized and shared it during the service.  Then we all headed over for a picnic across the street from the church - and it turned out to be a beautiful afternoon. 

Lane, one other girl and four adults were baptized on Sunday.

Daddy dunked her with our pastor, Stuart.

Several people commented on the JOY they see in Lane!

Three of her friends from school came to see her baptism.
