Abby’s Public Baptism
In the Name
Jan. 29th 2012, my daughter, Abigail Bartlett, was baptized at St. Luke’s by Fr. Penfield and Deacon Vogel. The Deacon’s wife, Mrs. Vogel, was our Godmother. Abby’s Godfather was my brother. Our second Godmother couldn’t attend (as she was in her 48th week of pregnancy) but was added to the certificate nonetheless. Mrs. Vogel presented Abby her Christian name to the Priest, and the Godparents tendered their sureties for Abigail’s sake. It was a lovely baptism, and Amanda and I are so happy Abby is now part of Christ’s body. We look forward to raising her growing into a kind and gracious woman, good and wise for a gentle husband, and someday a family of her own. Even more expecting are the days ahead where she will discover the world that God made for her, experiencing the excitement of new and wonderful things this life offers. Read the rest of this entry »
