Baptism Sunday

OH! Last weekend was such a special weekend for the Stacy family!! On Sunday, February 19, 2012 Stafford was baptised at Christ United Methodist Church during the eleven o'clock service. This church holds such a special place in the hearts of the Stacys...Reed and his sibilings grew up in this church, his parents and grandparents attend here as well as his aunt/uncle/cousins. Needless to say, the Stacys are deeply rooted in CUMC. A few years ago, I transferred my membership from First Baptist (in Dyersburg) to Christ United and absolutely love everything about it. I could not think of a better church family for Stafford to be raised in.

We had a busy, fun and celebratory weekend with family. My parents, sister, grandmother and uncle all drove down for the event on Saturday and we had a fun dinner at Cock of the Walk that evening. Stafford did WONDERFULLY during the baptism itself...he stayed awake, didn't have any accidents, didn't have a meltdown and only somewhat stared down our pastor when he sprinkled him with water! Stafford was one of six (all boys too!) to be baptised during the service. On Sunday, after church, we had a HUGE family lunch with the Stacys, the McDaniels, the Hamiltons, the Staffords, the Collins' and the Popes (whew!!) at the Country Club of Jackson.
