Our Newest Milestone Achievement - January's Baptismal Anniversary!
Congratualtions to those who celebrated their Baptismal Anniversary this past Sunday, January 8, 2012! We had a record number - 14 participants! The crowd of celebrants and their families trailed out the doors as they waited to process up to the baptismal font! It was a pleasure to share this special worship service with you as newly installed Director of Faith Journeys! Pastor Joe, Pastor Shari and I were thrilled to see so many of this class return to light anew the fire of baptism with your children!
I invite you to continue to share this special day each year as your family walks down the path of faith with many a Milestones to come! For this particular Milestone, you might want to light your baptismal candle again at home soon and talk about ways you make Christ’s light shine in your lives and in others. The Faith Journeys ministry was created to help partner with you in sharing family and faith at home, and I look forward to sharing these special times with you all!
Kathy Halsey, Dirctor of Faith Journeys and Milestones
