Last week we got the privilege of witnessing Cornerstone's first baptism. It was a beautiful thing to see Jill Walters publicly proclaim her union with Christ. To God be the glory!

| That's Nathan in there with them, instructing Jill's husband on the logistics of everything. |
 |
| This is sweet Even, the Walters' little girl. I pray one day she would follow in her mama's footsteps by placing her faith in Christ and obeying His command to identify with Him in baptism. |
 |
| We're so thankful for Jill and C. David and the love that they have for Christ and one another. |
 |
| Though we do not perform paedobaptism, an infant was kind of baptized this day... Jill is due June 3 :) |
"Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism
into death, in order that,
just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in
newness of life." —Romans 6:3-4
This was definitely a time of celebration with the body at Cornerstone and it also served as a sweet reminder of my baptism as well. I was also blessed to be baptized by my husband in August of 2010 at Lakeview. Praise God from whom
all blessings flow!

| I'm so glad that our family was here to rejoice with us and that Katie had her camera ready :) |
This is a beautiful post, and we're definitely rejoicing in Jill's identity with Christ! And what a joy to be able to witness your baptism, O. (I hope I didn't come across disrespectful with the camera, though I was glad to help remember the moment.)
