Betty's Baptism

This is a beaming Betty and a very happy Pastor Given. Betty was baptized the Sunday before Christmas. She is so very excited to follow Jesus in this step of obedience. We are so happy for her to be growing in the Lord! I am sure you noticed the new baptismal...this was a Christmas present for the kids that got opened early to be used as a baptismal when we realized there was a huge crack in the cement one that was making it impossible for it to hold water.

How exciting for all of you! Ilove the new baptismal, but wonder how there was enough water for Betty to really go under.

I love seeing all of you in your summer clothes. We haad to dig out our heavy winter oats as it will be 18 degrees here in Kansas tonight!
