Festival Sunday was a joyous celebration of baptism! We renewed our baptismal vows and enjoyed a delicious French toast breakfast together. With the Praise Dancers from Hope Presbyterian Church joining us to lead worship, the service was a truly rich experience. Thank you to Mike Adams and Geoffrey Luce for heading up the morning, the Sanctuary Choir for fabulous music, and Julie Collier Sanders and the Praise Dancers for a moving interpretive dance
