Renae’s baptism memories~
We made cookie bars and homemade ice cream and invited everyone to come to the park afterward.
We made…..

and

Renae’s favorite songbook and the books that the church had ~
Buckets soaking ~
Lotsa ice!
We rejoice that Renae has long loved Jesus as her Savior and was ready to make a public commitment of her faith and belief and to confess Jesus as the Son of God and her Lord and Savior.
Redeemed! How I love to proclaim it! Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb!
Redeemed by His infinite mercy,
His Child and forever I am!

Songs Renae chose for her baptizing…
On Christ the Solid Rock
There is a Fountain Filled With Blood
Are You Washed in the Blood of the Lamb?
Amazing Grace
The preacher who baptized her also suggested this one. We really liked it. He has helped at a Bible camp for many years and they sing it every year there. They often have baptisms at the camp and sing it.
It was a very special evening to our little family. It was a very, very nice service. We appreciated the friends and family that shared it with us. We are thankful for believers and brothers and sisters in Christ.
We are thankful for the Bible.
We are especially thankful for Jesus and His Redeeming blood.
It is really incomprehensible. The magnitude of how much He loves us and claims us as His own and desires relationship with us.
Hallelujah!

Congratulations Renae! And it looks like a wonderful party!
I clicked on the song your pastor recommended and it brought me back to my youth. My parents were in a Southern Gospel quartet and that was one of the many songs they used to sing.
Big Daddy Weave’s “Redeemed” is one of my favorites!
Aw, memories! They make life special. Thanks for sharing!
What a special memorable evening it was and such a blessing to be there. Praise God for loving us and giving His Son. And how blessed to see grandchildren name His Name and proclaim Jesus as Redeemer.
I’m so glad you could share the evening with us. It was very special. Wish I would’ve gotten a few more photos.
So wish we could have been there! We love you Renae and it’s been such a blessing to have you as part of our family. Your sweet heart and attitude is a true delight!
Wish you could’ve been there too. Oh well. Such is life and impossible to be at everything and do everything I’d like to.
It was just a very, very special service and evening.
