Baptism

On Sunday, October 9 we had Kipton baptized at Ascension Lutheran Church in Minocqua, the same church Jason and I were married at almost exactly 5 years prior. We asked Melissa, Angie and Dave to accept the honor of being Kipton's Godparents. They all happily accepted the role and responsibility. As we baptized Kipton we made the following promises:

-to nurture Kipton's relationship with God
-to bring Kipton to church
-to teach Kipton to pray at meals, bedtime and other occasions
-to introduce Kipton to the Bible and its stories
-to provide an example of a Christian life
-to be available to answer any questions he may have about his faith
-to provide him with the opportunity to go to Sunday School

What was extra special about the day were all the family that traveled to help celebrate. We had my sister Tricia's baby shower on the day before so we had lots of family around. Additionally, Kipton wore a family heirloom gown for his baptism. The gown has been in Jason's side of the family for 111 years. According to his grandmother's best recollection, Kipton was the 46th to be baptized wearing the gown.
