Baptism Birthday

Six years ago on this day, Abby and Emma were baptized with water and God's Word. On that day, at the font in the Chapel of St. Timothy and St. Titus on the Campus of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, God's Name was applied to them - entering them into the narrative of Scripture and of Christ - His death and Resurrection - and making them lambs of His own pasture.
Today, we brought out the candles that were lit for the first time on that day and took time to remember and teach what happened to them at baptism.

Here is a pic from today's remembrance:


And here's a couple of pics from Novemeber 23, 2002:


Which is Abby? Which is Emma? You decide!
