Friday, June 9

As you can see, there were mny confirmations on this evening all of various ages. I think Hannah and Sarah were the youngest. (This photo was taken about 8:50pm btw:) Only two were being baptized as well as confimed. The baptism was very nice too. Bishop Tom takes a rosemary branch dipped into the font and sprinkles everyone in the congregation as a reminder of their baptism. This night, Bishop Tom commented that he had never had such a large rosemary branch before and those standing closest to him got quite wet! It was a great time and great cause for celebration. In fact, I did see one family breaking out the champagne from the back of their car on the Palace Green! Couldn't wait to get home I guess.
Jeff and I would like to thank all those who have had an influence in Hannah and Sarah's lives and in their spiritual growth. The girls are who they are because of ALL of you and your wonderful faithfulness. Continue to pray for them as they grow in Christ, especially in a more challenging culture. Blessings! Posted by Picasa
