Beach Baptism 2008

Every year our church has a baptism service at the beach in Santa Cruz. It is a really great time to relax, enjoy friends, and watch people from our church community get baptized in the Pacific Ocean. We met up with our friends, The Kaysers again to enjoy the afternoon.

Emma loved running into the shallow water. Daddy was close behind. Mommy took the pictures because she does not enjoy the cold 60 degree water all that much

Mommy braved the water for a quick family picture

After playing and eating, there was a worship and sharing time and then it was time to head into the water for the baptisms

Many braved cold water and big waves to show their dedication to God

After the baptism service, Daddy and Emma took advantage of the windy day and flew their kite into the setting sun


It was a beautiful service and a great time with friends!
