Baptism Weekend at Flatiron's Church

For the past few years, our kids (especially Gage) have been curious about baptism and what it means and how it happens.  They get reminded of this because our church does such a big celebration baptism event about once a quarter.  Multiple hot tubs are lined up along the front of the church and music is played, and it's always a really special time.  This March, both our kids decided that they would like to get baptized, and we were obviously very proud and supportive of them.  Here is the picture of them getting into the tub together.

Gavin was so very protective of Gage throughout the whole event.  He wanted to make sure Gage heard exactly what to say and was being very safe.  They asked them if they believed that Jesus was their savior and lives inside of them.

And then they were dunked!  Gage seems to be a bit more surprised by the dunking than Gavin, as you can tell from the recovery picture above.

Here is the picture afterwards.  They were very excited, as were we, that they could take part in this and make the outward profession of their faith.  We were glad that our parents could be there to celebrate this event in their lives, as well.  We pray that God would continue to grow our boys' faith and hope in Him, and we trust that what God has begun in them He will continue forever.
