Sunday is going to be a pretty awesome day. We are going to have a confirmation and a baptism in the same family. David Moore is getting confirmed and his nephew, Colton is getting baptized.
David has been meeting with me for the last three years. Since he is the only one of confirmation age I met with him for 30 minutes in my office for catechizes and then downstairs in the youth room for ping pong and pool. By the way, David is good at both which he must get from his mom, Cyndi, who is an elite billiards player.
I can tell you that David is a great kid. He loves the outdoors. He and his brother, Spencer, are in the boy scouts along with fellow Glendale member, Tori Williams. They are always going camping, hiking, organizing servant events, and completing badges. David also loves fishing with his dad, Sherman. Covid hasn’t been so bad for David. He got to tag along on an 18 wheeler across the country. David is a joy for me to get to know and I pray for his continued faith development. Confirmation is when David publicly professes his faith and we support him in it.
Little Colton is David’s sister’s son. It will great to have Colton’s mom, Ashley at the baptism along with great grandpa and grandma, Spence and Sylvia Bach. Baptism, of course, is when we get to witness God’s words of promise make Colton a forgiven child of God. It’s beautiful to be there a see God working. We promise to support the faith in this family.
