Today, Andrea put on Christ






In the Methodist Church, we baptise infants by sprinkling their little heads with water. This is to bring the baby into the family of God as early as possible. The church and the family say beautiful vows of how we will raise her in the church and to know God. United Methodists then have confirmation around the beginning of the teenage years where we confirm our faith by attending classes to become well-informed about the religion we are choosing for ourselves as "adults". We remember our baptism at that time. Andrea was baptised today, and it was a very special day that many of our family members attended. We are so greatful that so many found the time to make the journey to Indiana for this special occasion.

What an exhausting weekend! Andrea is a bit spoiled; 10 people drove over 5 hours for that sprinkle! Wasnt Eric there? He is not in the documentation!
