Baptism

This morning Nicholas was baptized.  The entire service was perfect!!!  We chose the first 2 songs the church sang (There's Within My Heart a Melody and In the Garden) and the choir sang a baby baptismal song.  1 of our Sunday School teachers, Johnny Altman, read a poem during the song too.  Here is what the poem said:

Blessing of Nicholas



A package came very early from heaven one day;

He was wrapped in his mother's love.

His parents said Welcome...as so tiny he lay,

This special little treasure from above.

 

When all at Pisgah heard that his life's first light,

Prayers of support were offered for what he now faced.

His name was Nicholas; he bravely fought the fight;

Our Lord smiled upon him with warmth and grace.

 

Now as life unfolds before Nicholas, his experiences abound.

Treasures of memories store up for his parents and church family.

James and Mariah cherish every smile, laugh, and sound.

Our Great God in heaven knew how special this child would be.

 

 

 

 

Thank you to everyone who came to see this joyous occassion.
