Katelyn's
Baptism
On Sunday August 19th, 2007 we celebrated with Katelyn Elizabeth Rodgers
in her Baptism Service. Katelyn is a wonderful young lady that loves the Lord.
Baptism is the outward proclamation of the inward change in accepting Christ
as Savior.
Katelyn we love you dearly and we commit to helping you grow in your
Christian walk in every way.
Pastor J. A. Proctor
Pastor Joe enters while Katelyn watches with
excitement just after she and Pastor Joe
Prayed together.
What a joy to see the excitement on Katelyn's
face as Pastor Joe addressed the church.
As we all know, baptism is the outward
portrayal of an inward transformation. Jesus
commanded that His followers in obedience
to Him be baptized.
Below the reverence on Katelyn's expression
is a reminder to each of us as to our humble
salvation that only comes through our Lord
Jesus Christ.
Thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ for our
eternal life through His sacrifice.
How wonderful it is that a father sings for his
daughter as Andy, right, praised God just
before Katelyn's baptism.
Katelyn Elizabeth Rodger, upon your public
proclamations of Jesus Christ and your obedience
to Him today, we baptize you in the name of the
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And all God's children
say- AMEN.
Katelyn's family celebrates with her during a
celebration meal following her baptism.

new Bible, given to her by the church on this
her special day.
How blessed she is to have such wonderful,
Godly parents.
