Samuel's Baptism

 Yesterday was truly one of those very moving moments as a parent - Samuel decided he wanted to get baptized. Our church baptizes a few times a year and for this one they decided to meet up at George Rogers Park in Lake Oswego. We all gathered at the river's edge and began by singing worship songs. Slowly people filed into the water to pray with one of the three pastors before being baptized.

Here Samuel waits his turn:

 Still waiting....

Brynn talked to Samuel about how Jesus was baptized.

They prayed together.
