Our ceremony was emceed by Rev. Elma King. Rev. Jeddie King led us in the invocation Prayer. Six families receive the Holy Items, with 22 in attendance – 17 adults and five children. Our Registrar for the Special Grace was Ms. Abigail Souck.
Dane Popplewell, our newest family member expressed that he usually does not like to be in large crowds, but the love that he experienced at the event has pulled him in. He has decided to be with us as long as he can, and I told him eternity is long enough. He felt our deep love, and he was moved by the songs.
