Jane's Baptism: February 7, 2010

Jane was baptized at the First Presbyterian Church in Greenwood, MS on February 7, 2010. Jane had 31 family members and close friends witness the sacrament of God's grace as well as join us for lunch afterwards. Thank you to everyone that came and were there in spirit. It was a very special occasion and we appreciate your being there.

 

This gown has been in the Sturdivant family for years. Micajah, Kathryn, Walker, Susanne, Carson, Neal and I were all baptized in it. It is pictured with the matching bonnet, a cross given to Jane by the Cage Carruthers family, and a personalized Bible given to Jane by her great-grandparents, Ewing and Jane Carruthers.

 

My initials at the bottom of the gown.

 

 

Dr. Rusty Douglas led the service. Jane's grandparents, Jan and Mike Sturdivant, served as Elders and Jane's Godparents, Anastasia and Dunbar Jenkins, served as sponsors.

For anyone that wants to watch the blessed event....
