It was a good day!

On Sunday, 9/20/09, I renewed my baptismal and Cooper was baptized for the first time! Our church has a special River Baptism Service in the spring and summer. I loved the idea and asked Cooper and Caroline wanted to get baptized at the river. Cooper chimed right in and said that he wanted to do it. Although I don't quite think he understood what was actually happening, he was not afraid to go in the river with me. I got fully dunked and he just got sprinkled. He cried when he his head got wet, but did manage to get an "Amen" when we were walking back. Caroline wanted to see how Cooper did before she took the plunge. I am hoping she will decide to go next time.

I absolutely LOVE our church! I can honestly say that I have never felt at home as I do at this church. God is good!
