The Baptismal Bowl

DateMonday, August 25, 2008 at 09:14AM

Our church is less than one year old and this was the first baptism we've celebrated; so, as a church, we didn't have a baptismal bowl yet.  So yesterday, Elliott was baptised with water from a very special bowl, given to me by Tom's mom many years ago. The bowl was Tom's Grandmother's mother's bowl, which would make that Elliott's Great-great-great-grandmother's.

The bowl you used is beautiful and I love the sentimental meaning behind it.
