Last Sunday, on Pentecost Day, we baptized Kenny, a wonderful little nine-month old boy. When I picked him up to hold him for the baptism, I thought he would protest and squirm, but he was quiet and big-eyed.
In my sermon, I said that I think Kenny is a child of our church, because his mother, Liz, was a member of our church when she was a little girl. She grew up, moved away, got married, had a baby and moved back to our area. Now she's presenting her baby to be baptized at St. Antony's. What a wonderful story!
Baptisms are always delightful, but this one was special. Welcome to the household of God, Kenny!
