Last Saturday, June 19, 2021, Father John baptized Adelaide Craig, three-year-old daughter of Meghan and Timothy Craig.

Adelaide’s Godmother is Anne Gilbert Sandbek. She and her parents, 10AM parishioners Rich and Wendy Gilbert, mentored Meghan about the Christian faith, the Episcopal Church, and the importance of baptism. They encouraged Adelaide’s baptism, and the importance of having a church home. This family lives their baptismal covenant, by “proclaiming by word and example the Good News of God in Christ.”

Together, the Gilbert family and Adelaide’s family celebrated this special occasion!
