I still get weepy thinking of my granddaughter's baptism almost 2 years ago. Such a joyful day. She is a baptized member of my ELCA Lutheran church and now I take her to Sunday school and church most weeks. Similar crowd at her baptism: Lutherans of course, ex-Catholic turned Lutheran (DH), still Catholic (great-grandpa), Southern Baptists (son-in-law's side), Presbyterians (my brother & family) and a couple non-churchgoers. All welcome at the altar to celebrate a little girl joining our church family.
