Angela's Baptism

This past Sunday was the day we baptized out little angel. It was a blessed event, as she was baptized with three other girls...two of which are family friends daughters, Ada and Alethea. Infant baptism stresses the position of the child within the covenant community and we hope that someday she will make her own confession of faith. Angela wore the dress and bonnet that mommy were dedicated in when she was a baby.

Grandma and Grandpa Knight, and Josh Olson were able to be here for this special occasion. We appreciate them representing our extended family. Lots of friends came to support us also...Mrs. Daniels, The Frary family, The Wilder Family, The Child's family and our One Voice Church family. We celebrate with Tacos Chihuahua after wards out on the patio of the church temporary facility.

Bio from Program:

Angela Anne Knight made a fast and furious entry into this world on April 18, 2011. She was welcomed by her parents, Dave and Shelby, as well as her big brother Tyler (almost 3). Angela means “Messenger of God.” We chose this name as a permanent reminder of our prayer that she will be a heavenly messenger, with a vision for truth. With the world as her stage, we hope that she will dance for God, not the world, and will join with all Christ's believers in the most amazing celebration and dance. She is our little angel and is already ministering to us in many ways.

Rev. Paul Kim, Lisa and Lisa, Elizabeth and Alethea, Me and Angela, Alex and Ada

The song that was sung as a hope for the girls at the baptism:
I Hope you Dance by Lee Ann Womack

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder You get your fill to eat But always keep that hunger May you never take one single breath for granted God forbid love ever leave you empty handed I hope you still feel small When you stand by the ocean Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance I hope you dance I hope you dance I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance Never settle for the path of least resistance Living might mean taking chances But they're worth taking Lovin' might be a mistake But it's worth making Don't let some hell bent heart Leave you bitter When you come close to selling out Reconsider Give the heavens above More than just a passing glance And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance I hope you dance (Time is a real and constant motion always) I hope you dance (Rolling us along) I hope you dance (Tell me who) I hope you dance (Wants to look back on their youth and wonder) (Where those years have gone) I hope you still feel small When you stand by the ocean Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance Dance I hope you dance I hope you dance (Time is a real and constant motion always) I hope you dance (Rolling us along) I hope you dance (Tell me who) (Wants to look back on their youth and wonder) I hope you dance (Where those years have gone) (Tell me who) I hope you dance (Wants to look back on their youth and wonder) (Where those years have gone)
