A double baptism for two greatgrandchildren of Norval Blair. Heidi Blair
(Dean Scarlette) and her sister Lyndsay Blair (Ashley Craig). Rev. Elke Mehnert did a wonderful job including everyone in the proceedings and just as good a job making them feel at ease and welcome. Harley Bye also had a few words of welcome. It was also the first Sunday of advent (getting ready for the arrival of another baby of long ago. The regular congregation was busy as a beehive. The 6 piece Church band had appropriate songs for a baptism. Our professional church photographer Norm Rennie behind the lense. I had activities to keep the 7 visiting children under age 8 from getting too restless. After Church the men were inspecting a beautiful new wood railing to be installed to hold pictures. The women were admiring two adorable puppets crafted by Ann Clark for the Kids for Christmas service coming up on December 11. With Linda Rennie diving into creating another. Plans were being made for long time Rockburn resident Marion Arthur's brother William Morgan's memorial service next Sunday. We are definately a Church responding to the call. We are not just sitting around waiting for things to happen.
