One of the coolest parts of being a pastor is being able to baptize your own children. This past Sunday, November 6th, I baptized Charis into the covenant family. Sunday was, not coincidentally, Orphan Sunday (celebrated the first Sunday of November each year. Here is the video from the baptism. As you will see, she was crying… a lot… right up until Kim gave her some goldfish to snack on!

Six months ago we were just meeting you, wondering if you were our daughter. Today we celebrate your 2nd birthday. We love you, Charis!
