Baptizing Benjamin


On Sunday we baptized Benjamin and now he belongs to Christ. It was such a joy to hold this young fellow and say the words of baptism as I poured water on his forehead. "Benjamin, I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

Bishop Greg anointed him with oil and said, "Benjamin, you are sealed with the Holy Spirit and marked as Christ's own forever." Benjamin's parents, Laura and Charles, are solid people of faith, and so are his grandparents. I pray this young man will be a person of rich and deep faith in Christ.
