Four-month old Cadence Ann Hinsch was baptized on Sunday by Pastor Tom at the First Presbyterian Church while older brothers Cameron and Cooper looked on. Cadence is the daughter of Jared and Jen. Her godparents are Mike Hinsch and Jess Klinger. Friends and family gathered at the Hinsch home in rural Lismore following the ceremony for lunch and to celebrate Cam’s 9th birthday. Cadence wore the baptismal gown belonging to her great-grandma Ruth and was worn by her grandmother and her two great-aunts. The gown is over 50 years old. What a keepsake!
