Anna's Baptism
November 13, 2005 at Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church

This was a day to remember. It has to have been one of the most beautiful baptisms I have ever been too. Our friend Fr. John Amsberry baptized Anna during the 5:30PM Teen Mass. So the music was good and all of our friends were there. Fr. John started off by having us process down the isle with him. As were walking down the isle, people at the end of each pew were instructed to sign the cross on Anna's forehead. She was a trooper and was happy through the whole thing. Then after Fr. John's homily (which he focused on the meaning of baptism) he called Us (Ken, Mad, Anna, Judy, Skip, and I) to the altar to baptize our girl. After he baptized her, he held her up and walked her through the church. It was like she was a Simba from the Lion King. Everyone clapped and Anna loved it! The welcoming of Anna to the Church was such a special hour. We really felt God's presence!
