You are invited...

Our family is having a bit of a celebration in two weeks and you are all invited to join us. The first event will be Bruce's baptism on Saturday, August 3, from 9-10:30 a.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (email or call me if you don't know where it's at and I'll send you directions). Bruce turned eight years old in May and decided that he is ready to follow Jesus Christ and be baptized.

In our church, we believe that we should be baptized only when we can discern between right and wrong and when we have the desire to follow Christs's example. Bruce has shown both of these things and we are proud of the many good choices he is making.

Bruce will be baptized on Saturday, and Oliver will be blessed on Sunday, August 4, during the 9-10:15 a.m. sacrament meeting; again, it is at the church and everyone is invited. The baby blessing is a simple prayer that Scott offers to give Oliver his name and to provide some protection and direction for him.

If you would like to celebrate with our family, eat a few treats, and maybe see me cry like a baby (and maybe see Oliver cry like a baby?!), please join us on August 3-4.
