Passing on Faith: The Prayer Pillow
A Milestone was celebrated during the service on February 7, 2016 - the
Prayer Pillow for 2 year olds.
The children receive the pillow as a reminder of the importance of prayer in one's journey as a Christian and a Lutheran.
Receiving their pillows were Dallas Hanford, son of Paige Fortin and Addison Hanford and Brennan Comerford, son of Jake and Audrey Comerford.
The pillows are a sign of God's love and care for the children through the congregation. The pillows will serve a practical function, and continue to remind the families of God's intention to speak with each of us through His conversation, in the form of prayer.
After the service, the families enjoyed a meal together in Fellowship Hall.
