For Zeth Whitsitt of Huntingburg, his son’s baptism signifies “getting him started on the right path to Christ. It’s kind of like welcoming him into the church family,” he said. “Whatever struggles in life with beliefs, he’s got a family he can go to,” Zeth said. At Holland United Methodist Church in Holland on Nov. 24, Westyn Whitsitt, 5 months, of Huntingburg, looks at his grandmother, Laura Whitsitt, of Duff, while sitting on his father, Zeth, before his baptism.

“The baptism is a significant sign of God’s grace, of God’s presence in our life,” said Pastor Keith Chanley of Holland. “Either drawing us to him or in saving us from our sins and celebrating what God has already done.” At Holland United Methodist Church in Holland on Nov. 24, the pastor prepares to baptize Westyn Whitsitt, 5 months, of Huntingburg, seen with his mother, Makenzie, father, Zeth, godmother, Ashlan Kelley and godfather, Connor Craig, both of Huntingburg.
