Both of our children have always expressed a love for God and a desire to learn His ways.
On December 8, 2016 Lucy Mills asked her daddy if they could walk down the front of our church and talk to Pastor Mike about being baptized. Travis took her hand and they went and sat together on the first pew, just below the white lights on the sanctuary Christmas trees. They held hands and Travis prayed alongside Lucy Mills that Jesus would come and live in her heart. I was a witness to their precious words and this holy moment.
For over a year before this Lucy Mills expressed a desire to be baptized. She knew she believed in God, she loved him, and she wanted to be baptized.
After Lucy Mills prayed with Travis, McClain too said that he believed and wanted to be baptized. To be certain that this way each child's personal decision I took them to sit down and meet with our churches' children's director. Maegan went through an wonderful description of how we are sinner's and Christ took our place. This was a decision both children were ready to make.
On February 26, 2017 Lucy Mills and McClain were baptized.
Very thankful for a family and a church that supports and shepherds our children's spiritual growth alongside us.
