Unique Baptism Ceremony
When I was a kid… you know, back when pictures were drawn on cave walls… we didn’t have a fancy baptistry in our church. It was just a little country church, so when it was time for baptism by immersion, you headed for the creek.
I was around 12 years old when I was baptised.

What was unique about that baptism ceremony is that my elderly grandfather was baptized at the same time. He was almost 78 years old!

While we were visiting family in Florida, we were privileged to witness another unique baptism ceremony. All four of the grandkids there were baptised in Rock Springs at Kelly Park in Apopka, Florida.

I made a video out of the pictures and short video clips I took during this unique baptism ceremony. I thought it was only fitting to use music by our oldest grandson Lee and his band, Red Redemption.

I wish I could also have included a picture of The Farmer when he was baptized in 1985. He was much older than I was when he was baptised, and unfortunately, no one took any pictures. However, I can share one taken at the grandkids baptism ceremony.

It was a very special baptism ceremony, and I’m glad we got to be there!
