Baptism!




Parker made the decision to get baptized and the event took place yesterday at our new church, Crossroads. He had expressed interest a few months ago, so we attended a baptism class in order for him to learn more about it. Here is his testimony that was read during the big moment...

"I heard the stories of the bible, like Noah's Ark, and I knew they were true. When my dad died he did not feel sick. He went to my baseball game in the morning and played golf that day too. He woke up and didn't feel good, so God said "come home now."
That was it, I knew that Jesus lives in my heart."

We really love our new church. It is a combination of NPCC and Stonecreek, which is what we have been looking for. You can check it out at www.crossroadsgrace.org.

Camp Caterpillar












Parker attended a wonderful camp on Saturday called Camp Caterpillar. It is hosted by our community hospice organization. Hospice help care for my mother during her final days. The camp is for children ages 5-12 who have lost a loved one within the last 2 years. They did arts and crafts, music, journeling, storytelling and games. Parker loved it and asked to go again next year. They did a balloon release at the end of the day as they called out the name of their loved one. It was awesome. Not a dry eye in the crowd. Enjoy the pitures!
