We drove from Des Moines to Cedar Rapids last night so that we could attend church at First Congregational this morning. We stayed over night with our friends, Larry and Barb Taylor and went to church with them this morning.
Our friends, Carol and Jerry Schaub, invited us to celebrate the baptism of their newly adopted little grandson, Nicholas. It was especially a good day to be at First Congregational, our home church for over 26 years, because the Chancel Choir was doing a performance of various hymns written by Allen Koepke. It was a glorious service!
Christ Is Risen
The Baptism of Nicholas
We absolutely couldn't believe how well Nicholas behaved in church today. He was so good and quiet. He loved the choir music and tried to imitate Jerry, the Choir Director. It was sooooo cute!
