Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church, Afton, MN
"and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ," [Peter 3:21]
Church service and baptism dinner lovingly organized by Nana Andrea.
Water carried lovingly by Papa Roger & Grandma Vicki all the way from the Jordan River in Israel {the same water that baptized Jesus Christ}
Christening gown and handkerchief bonnet made lovingly by Nana Yenna with a poem enclosed...
I am just a little hankie, as square as can be;
But with a stitch or two, they've made a bonnet out of me.
I'll be worn home from the hospital, or on a special day,
And then I'll be carefully pressed and neatly packed away.
Then on the wedding, I have been told,
Every well dressed Bride must have something old.
So what would be more fitting than to find Little Old Me,
A few stitches snipped and a wedding handkerchief I will be!
Godfather and Uncle, Josh with cousin Lillian.
Sponsors, Joshua Grooters and Kathryn Layman (Aunt Katie) join us to give our pledge.
"The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you;the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace." [Numbers 6:24-26]
Beautiful! Congratulations!
