Today at our church, Bethany United Methodist, Liliana Olivia was surrounded by family and friends to celebrate her baptism. In the Methodist faith babies are baptized as a promise to God to bring them up in the church and teach her how to be a faithful disciple of Jesus. Our pastor, Tom, along with our dear friend and pastor, Sheri baptized Lily at the 11 o'clock service. The small sprinkle of water after the blessing was cold and caught Lily off guard. She was a happy girl and looked around at all the people while the congregation sang her lullaby. It's a beutiful song that goes like this...
Liliana Olivia, God claims you,
He helps you, protects you and loves you too.
We all this day do agree
A child of God you'll always be.
Your whole family loves you so
They vow to help your faith to grow.
Liliana Olivia, God claims you,
He helps you, protects you and loves you too.
We are here to say this day
That we will help you on the way.
And if you should tire or cry,
We will sing you this lullaby.
Liliana Olivia, God claims you,
He helps you, protects you and loves you too.
Thank you to our friends and family members who came to witness this blessing and celebrate with us! We are truly blessed to have Lily in our lives!
