Baptismal Reunion

The church we belong to has a baptismal reunion every year for the kids that were baptised through out the previous year. We received an invite as Elizabeth was baptised in April. Five children out of the sixteen baptised attended the little service. It was funny to hear all the babies babbling in the large church. Elizabeth was good but once in awhile would say something to another baby across the aisle or behind us. Derrick lit Elizabeth's candle on the cross full of candles they put on the stairs leading up to the altar. Everyone stood around the altar for a final prayer and then Derrick extinguished the candle for Elizabeth.

Here's a group photo of all the babies and parents with the Pastor in the middle:
