When I found out almost our entire extended family was going to be in Hilton Head for the spring, we decided to have Nolan’s Christening at the same church where we had Carter baptized so as many people could be there as possible to share in our special day! I was so excited that Reverend Yongue would be doing the service and both our boys would be baptized in the same church. It meant a lot to me that he was able to do the service for us and that Nolan was able to wear the Christening outfit my mom originally made for Carter. My inlaws were able to attend as well so the church was packed as everyone witnessed us accept God’s promises on Nolan’s behalf. I was so grateful that both his godparents (Alex and Madison) could attend the service too and afterward we all went back to the big house for lunch and cake. Even though we waited a bit longer than is traditional for both our boys to get baptized, it was important for me to be able to share this important milestone with our families. We thank God daily for both of our amazing little blessings and continue to pray over both of them that they will grow into wonderful, caring, Christian men and when the time comes, profess their faith in front of God and their families. Thank you to everyone who was able to attend and celebrate! God Bless!
How special that so many of your family could be there. Looks like a beautiful day!
ReplyDeleteIt was such a special and joyous celebration. Nolan was perfect! He was so happy when Rev Yongue paraded him around the church. So glad we could all be together for this important day. God bless Nolan!
