Jack was baptized yesterday in front of our family and friends at New City Presbyterian Church. It was an exciting morning for our family.
We believe that his baptism welcomed Jack into God's covenant community. We pray that some day he will have a saving knowledge of our Lord and we promised yesterday to teach him the truths of the Bible, pray for him, and to be models for him of the Christian faith.

We were blessed to have surprise visitors from our former church, ECC. Chip, Gay, and Hannah Wagner, Helen Sander, and Joyce Tedford all showed up. I was shocked to see them there! They have been such amazing friends to our family. I was honored to have them be a part of our day. It was so nice to have wonderful friends -- new and old -- there to celebrate Jack. Koesters Family: You were missed, but we are so thankful that Drew is out of the hospital and on his way to full health!
After the service we all headed back to our house for some fun food and time together. What would a true Samad party be without Ron's Roost?

So hard to believe this day has come and gone...so many more milestones to look forward to. How I thank the Lord for sweet little Jack!
Jack,
Your favorite part would have been the "Whoopie Pies" that your Mommy made--if only you could have tried them. When you get older make sure Mommy makes them for you.
What a wonderful day to Celebrate Jack.
Love, Louie
