Both looking very proud :) This is obviously the before shot (they're still dry!) at Lucas' Baptism.
It was such a lovely service and it was great to have people there that really meant something to Lucas and could all take part in the program (whether it was conducting music, talk or doing a solo song).
A couple of families from school came, one Anglican and one Islamic family. My Muslim friend said she really enjoyed learning more about Jesus as her children didn't really know much about him. So that was nice. The three of us mums from school felt a lot closer that. We all want safe, good examples for our kids and we hope our kids will stay friends and respect each other's differences like their Mums do. :)
Lucas was a wonderful example to friends and family. He was a bit nervous before, but felt really happy inside afterwards.
Since then, he told all about his baptism for news at school. Then the following free choice day, he took his brand new set of scriptures in to show them. I had no idea until afterwards - he seemed to have some pretty good feedback from his class! :) hehe
