This is Quinley Mandela Dillard Hood…a child of the living God.
On this day we have gathered to pour water over the head of this child as an outward symbol of an inward grace that has sealed his name and person in love for all time and beyond.
Quinley you were and will forever be created by a God that loves you.
Quinley you were and will forever be redeemed by a God that loves you.
Quinley you were and will forever be sustained by a God that loves you.
Quinley on this day I baptize you in the name of the God that created you, in the name of the God that redeems you and in the name of the God that will forever sustain you.
This is Quinley Mandela Dillard Hood…a child of the living God.
Amen.
