Baptism

What a great weekend. (of course most of them are:) There comes a time in life when our parents baptize us within the church and then there comes a time that we have to make this decision for ourselves. This is the time in our childrens life that they have made the decision to accept God and His way of life as their own. Both girls were baptized at Highland Park Community Church this weekend. After long nights of talks and readings the girls both said this is how they wanted to show their commitment. Then....after a wonderful service two weeks ago Ken felt it was his time to also show his commitment and what better time to do then when his two girls do it. This was shared with many friends and family members both present and absent and we want to thank all of you for being there. It was said that after the baptism half the congregation left (this tells you how many people support our family) I love it!

This was truly a symbol of how God works in our lives.

This was also fun for Xenia to see, as the baptism in Germany are very different (Catholic version).
