Savannah Laurette Collin became a member of The Episcopal Church this past Sunday. Baptisms at our church seem to be particularly joyous occasions. It gives me enormous pleasure to be able to offer this sacrament which celebrates the miracle of new birth—in this case, Savannah's first rite of passage.
We had quite a crowd in church Sunday, with many visitors. We counted 72 in church, with 60 taking communion. Anne Borchert again prepared a cross-shaped cape, this time for Savannah. Fortunately, Christine Eagan had brought some delicious pumpkin muffins. Nonetheless, Joanne Ward had to run out for bagels and break to ensure enough for everyone. (We were surprised by Sunday attendance.)
It also was Boy Scout Sunday this week. Eric Borchert attended church in full uniform, looking awesome. (Can't believe we didn't get a photo of Eric, but take my word for it. Eric looked great in his uniform!)
