Getting Baptized

On August 9, Chase was baptized at our church, Trinity Methodist. It was such a beautiful service, (with the exception of the air conditioner being broken). Pastor Shelly did a wonderful sermon encouraging all of us to be imitators of Christ and relating to the baptism. We were so glad that all of Chase's grandparents, Aunt Wendy, great grandparents Nanny and Poppy, and Aunt Suzy and cousins Matthew and Mandy were there to celebrate this special day with us!!!

After Chase was baptized the whole congregation sang a song personalized to Chase ---God claims you--- and Pastor Shelly walked him up and down the isle, Chase loved the attention, he smiled the whole time.

It was such a great service. Danny and I are so happy we have Trinity, it's a great place to worship.

On a side note, here is a picture of Chase in a little bonnet that his DeeDee had gotten for him to wear for the baptism. The whole story behind the bonnet is really a neat idea... Chase could wear the bonnet for his baptism and we would keep it in a safe place until he gets married. Then you cut the strings off of it and it turns into a handkerchief that he gives to his future wife to hold on their wedding day. It's a nice thought, and we will still keep it for that purpose but you can tell here what Chase thought about the whole thing....
