Kirby was a Christian who chose to join our church and be baptized by immersion.

Vernon – also a Christian – chose baptism by immersion.

 

 

 

 

A baptismal service is a highlight for our church – as it is for many churches – because it is a delight to see young people and those who are not so young make a choice to follow the example of Jesus.

 

 

 

 

Back at our house we honored Gloria and Ian with a celebration lunch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Though there was other food, our meal revolved around buttered noodles – Ian’s favorite food – and Creamy Italian Chicken – Gloria’s choice.

 

 

I didn’t take many pictures, but we had a delightful afternoon. Granddaughters and those dating grandsons cleared the tables and washed the dishes. Chris, Kristen, Deb, and I decided that we could get used to that!
