Mark and Naomi were baptized in the Lynn Canal today.
First they answered some questions from Pastor Ron in front of the Church.
And also the congregation answered some questions.
Then we went down to the river to pray… (actually the Lynn Canal). Holly led the singing and people actually sang as they went down to the water right near the large cruise ship dock at the main beach in town that has sand, where we usually have our baptisms.
Naomi was baptized first.
It didn’t seem too cold.
Then it was Mark’s turn.
The Green Family:
The Davis family with Bob and Margaret:
Afterwards, we had a wiener roast on the beach with chips and other fixings.
