A Wonderful Service

Today was a pretty exciting day for our family. Not only did we have a great Easter service, but Kamryn made a public profession of her love for Jesus in our church this morning. Although none of our own family could be present, we felt surrounded and loved by our new church family, who shared in our excitement. There were several students who professed their faith, many not being raised in a Christian home. It was a blessing to hear so many diverse testimonies from these kids. We are so thankful for the family and friends scattered across North America who have been and will continue to be an important part of Kamryn's faith walk.

The whole group in front of church.
Kamryn being "interviewed" by Nick, our youth pastor. (I love her friend, Nico's, expression on the left.)
Kamryn sharing why she wants to profess her faith.
There were two baptisms by immersion.
Two of the girls were baptized by sprinkling.
This was right after the prayer on stage.

We're thankful for Nick and so many people who are a part of Kamryn's life and spiritual growth.

Way to go Kamryn. Sticking up for your home team and for your personal beliefs. It will be a lot of fun watching you grow up in Redlands.
