I especially was touched by how involved the family was in the baptism--what a perfect way for them to begin walking with her in her Christian life!

Might have worked to have one short reading from scripture but because I had us all standing and gathered around the font I also wanted to keep the service short, in an appropriate way.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15667178624061122421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2678482213828648107.post-70716519205017214522007-07-07T14:26:00.000-04:002007-07-07T14:26:00.000-04:00I really like what you did.
