Ben's Big Day!







Ben - Before his Baptism......


After a week of counting down, today was BEN'S BIG DAY! And, he let everyone know about it!

Getting ready with Pastor Mark

First, during Sunday Schook he was excited because the first graders got to come to the "Survivor" room (games) with me. And, then, tonight......he got BAB-A-TIZED!!!!!! I don't think I have ever encountered anyone as excited about their baptism as Ben. He has told everyone, talked all about it and, literally, shook with excitement.

The water almost completely covered Ben's little head! But, after a little floating in the water, he got BAB-A-TIZED!!!!!

We were thrilled with Ben's decision to accept Christ as his Saviour several months ago and have looked forward to the time he was ready to be baptized. What an awesome thing God does when He touches a person's heart!

Congratulations, Ben! Melanie, I'm sorry we forgot about this special event and feel so bad that we missed it. I got home from Gatlinburg at 3:30pm and we didn't go anywhere all night. Hope to see you soon. Kim
