Palm Sunday, ‘03

Date April 9, 2006

Adambaptized2

I’ve been thinking about baptism on and off again over the
past few weeks. Growing up with a Mennonite mother, I was dedicated
(instead of baptized) in the PCUSA and my parents encouraged me to get
baptized whenever I was ready to make that public statement of my
faith. I’m going to write a bit more about baptism in the next week or
so, but I finally was baptized in Idaho, 3 years ago on Palm Sunday,
April 13th, 2003 (which was also my 23rd birthday). My parents were
able to be there and it was a very meaningful experience for my family
and for the church community. Above is an elder and my pastor pulling
me up from my full-immersion. In the spirit of coming up with captions for old photos, anyone have a good caption for this photo?

[For a less-awkward photo of me post-baptism, and one of me and my parents, see below]
