Kenzie's Baptism.

We finally had Kenzie baptized and decided to do it here in Fargo.  Landon and Kadence were both baptized at my church in Cloquet; however, it happened to work out much better to get Kenzie baptized here in town.  We had her baptized at Hope Lutheran Church (south campus) where we plan to become members.  Kenzie did very well during the service and it was great to have our family here to celebrate this wonderful time while she received God's gift of eternal love.

"Child of God, you have been sealed by the Holy Spirit and marked with the Cross of Christ forever."

"In Holy Baptism our gracious heavenly Father liberates us from sin and death by joining us to the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.  We are born children of a fallen humanity; in the waters of Baptism we are reborn children of God and inheritors of eternal life.  By water and the Holy Spirit we are made members of the Church which is the body of Christ.  As we live with him and with his people, we grow in faith, love, and obedience to the will of God."

"In Christian love you have presented your child for Holy Baptism.  You should, therefore, faithfully bring your child to the services of God's house, teach your child the Lord's Prayer, the Creed, and the Ten Commandments.  As your child grows in years, you should place in your child's hands the Holy Scriptures and provide for instruction in the Christian faith, that, living in the covenant of your child's Baptism and in communion with the Church, your child may lead a godly life until the day of Jesus Christ."

(Lutheran Book of Worship)


Congratulations to you sweet baby Kenzie.  We love you so very much.
