So here we are in 2008 and WOW what a memorable 2007 it was. It has caused me to reflect on some of the "milestones" in my life and the life of Element Church. Some of them are obvious, some... not so much.
In no particular order:
Element Church had it's first wedding. I was blessed to be able to participate in the ceremony. My first time helping officiate a wedding. It was powerful. It is so awesome to be involved in an event like that and just KNOW that the ceremony was God ordained and blessed. I could just feel God smiling down on the bride and groom.
Element Church had it's first child dedication. Won't be our last. Also, my first time helping officiate an event like that. Another powerful and blessed moment in my/our life. Looking forward to the next one.
Later that same day, Element Church had it's first baptism. Also, won't be our last. Jeff asked me to help in this ceremony too. Jeff and I baptised two young ladies who are both from totally different backgrounds, both at totally different "stages" in life, yet both are incredible in their own ways and both totally sold out to God. I'm blessed to know them both. This was my first time helping with a baptism ceremony. The last time if found myself in a baptismal font was quite a while ago and in a totally different setting. I was about 15 or 16 and I found myself waist-deep in water in a font inside the Mormon temple in Idaho Falls, ID getting baptised for about twenty dead people. At this point, all I can really say is.... the first "event" some 28 years ago just felt weird, the latter was amazing.
There are more moments that I could share, and maybe I will later. Just wanted to share a few. Grant
