Baptism

Annalee was sooooooo excited to be baptised today. After many long talks about the meaning/importance of baptism, and lots of prayer, she finally assured us she new exactly why she was wanting to do it. "Because I want everyone to know I love Jesus." Well, that is good enough for me! We are excited to walk this journey with her. Shane not only hand delivered Annalee during her birth 6 years ago, but also had the honor and privilege of baptizing her as she declared to the world the she is a follower of Jesus Christ.

Jesus declared, "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again." "How can a man be born when he is old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born!" Jesus answered, "I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit.
John 3:3-5

And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name. Acts 22:16
