Benjamin's Baptism

Benjamin Matthew Estes was baptized this morning at my fieldwork congregation St. Paul's Lutheran Des Peres, MO. We thank God for the gracious gift of forgiveness of sin that he has given to Benjamin in the waters of baptism. His godparents are Russ and Kris Troester our friends from the seminary. We were accompanied by many friends and family members as we celebrated God's gracious work in Ben's life. Visit this photo set if you would like to see pictures from the baptism and some of the most recent pictures of Ben.

"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 6:4
