Baptism

I was delighted to be asked to be Godmother to baby Jane Frances, first born daughter of Harris and Linda.  We have known Harris since 2009, when he was chosen as a member of the school exchange student group from St. Peter's Secondary to visit St. Matthew's Academy.  The Church Service lasted around 2 hours.  There were about 30 babies baptised. Afterwards we had a celebration in our house.
Waiting with Harris and Linda for the service to begin.
