....so we could attend the baptism of our grandson, Chase.
We are proud of him and that he has followed the example of the Savior.
16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
Acts 2:37-38
37 ¶ Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Baptism
Words: Mabel Jones Gabbott
Music: Crawford Gates
1. Jesus came to John the Baptist,
In Judea long ago,
And was baptized by immersion
In the River Jordan's flow.
2. "To fulfill the law," said Jesus,
When the Baptist questioned why,
"And to enter with my Father
In the kingdom up on high."
3. Now we know that we must also
Witness faith in Jesus' word,
Be baptized to show obedience,
As was Jesus Christ, our Lord.
