Pictures from Jessica's Baptism

As mentioned in a previous post, Jessica's baptism on January 20 was a very special day for our extended family and our congregation. Our friend David Green was kind enough to take these beautiful photos.

I've inserted here the beautiful words that Jessica wrote and shared in her confession:
Why do I love God? The description required cannot be put into words. He put on human flesh and died for sinful people like me. He would have been perfectly comfortable in heaven, but instead he sacrificed his only son and was crucified by the very people he created. He made us, died for us, and cares for us. He is the Holy Savior, and we are so lowly, yet he loves us.

God gives us a second chance, no matter if we deserve it or not. He understands that we need to be guided in the right direction, so he sends light to brighten our path and leads us in the correct way. He accepts our feeble ways, even if the only thing we have in return is a humble thank you.


I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and I want him to be my Lord and Savior!
