Laura’s Affirmation of Baptism was today.
It was a very different service this year because of COVID-19. Only families were in attendance at the church.
Masks were worn throughout except for the two minutes that it took to take a few pictures without masks.
Laura read the Gospel and then read her faith statement in place of the sermon. She was so very nervous because she never thought anyone other than herself and Pastor David would see her faith statement.
Once again, Laura amazed me. Her faith statement was well-written, thoughtful, and funny. She made me smile and cry a little. We are so proud of her.
We had to leave the church quickly after the service was over, but we celebrated as a family at the Claysville Store for a late lunch. It was a homestyle family meal of fried chicken and all the fixings.
Congratulations Laura!
