BAPTISM GIFT PACKAGE
This gift package is the perfect gift for baby and parents for the most important day of the child’s life…baptism. Featuring a customized candle holder for the baby, Made By Him (Jaime Brickner, our Local Event Coordinator) creates each candle holder individually by burning the child’s name and baptism date into the wood. Parents receive a copy of John’s newest book based on the baptismal vows, "The Light Entrusted to You" and much more! Over a $60 value!
