He done been dunked!


"As many as have been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ..."

"The servant of God John Samuel is baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit!"



"Grant unto me a robe of light,
O You who clothe Yourself with light as with a garment,
O Christ our God, plenteous in mercy!"

To our friends, parents of the Kumquat:

We wanted to thank you for your gracious invite to John Samuel's baptism. We couldn't come - a fact that gave us much sorrow as we love you and are delighted with you and for you - but we thank you for the pictures and we give glory to God for bringing John Samuel into the fullness of His kingdom through baptism.

Glory be to God! Slava Bohu!

And what a beautiful baby.

In Christ,
V & E.



PS. Who is the child's patron Saint?

OK, that little John Samuel is just too calm. It was like he was just taking a bath!

Not a whimper, not a cry, just big happy smiles, at times!

Must have been the holy spirit cleaning him up. (as if he needs it)

We will keep you all in our prayers!
