Sunday

So the big day finally arrived. Max has been counting down the days for 2 weeks. Today he was baptized.



Mark got him all robed up.



Mr. Bill, deacon, helped get him all ready and waited with us.



Max said the water was warm, like taking a bath.



Bro. Floyd talked about how we had dedicated Max six years ago to the day, and how everyone had watched Max grow up and do different things like help with offering, and run around the church.



He asked Max if he had accepted Jesus and planned to follow Him for the rest of his life, and Max nodded.



Bro. Floyd talked for so long, Max was kind of startled when he started to go down in the water, but he went under like a champ. Max had been standing on a milk crate (so everyone could see him in the sanctuary) so it took him a minute to get his balance back.



Then out he came!



Mark got him all dried off, or tried to, because Max had been jumping around since we got there, and he still couldn't hold still.
