Scene at coffee hour following the baptism |
As is our custom at Trinity, when a baby is baptized here, the child receives three gifts. First, a candle, lit from the Pascal Candle that burned during the baptism. The hope is that the candle will be burned in the future on the anniversaries of the baptism. Second, a teddy bear, from the ladies of the ECW. This gift, begun by the wife of former Rector Newton Howden, is a recognition by the ECW that the baby is a child of the church. Finally, a single red rose, which is present on the altar during Holy Communion, an ancient Celtic symbol of new birth. | ||

Many of us remember Bishop Smith from the dedicated pastoral support he gave us a few years ago when Trinity was trying to figure out what the future held for us. His words of encouragement then have borne fruit! We wish him a wonderful retirement, and hope he will come back and visit with us. | |
