Yesterday at our church, Zion Lutheran Church in Anoka, the 3 year olds were all Blessed by the congregation and Pastors. When the children are 3 their Congregational Godparent's relinguish their responsibilities to the Congregation and Sunday school program. I remember last year watching this and thinking Noah would be up there the next year. I was quite certain he would not behave. Well, despite being a little noisy waiting in line to go into the church, he was a perfect angel! No nose picking, running around, or talking. (He's on the left side of the above pictures, in the yellow and brown outfit.) When the entire congregation raised their arms as a part of the Blessing, he decided to join in as well. What cooperation! It seems like just yesterday when he was about 3 months old and up their getting Baptized. I still see clear as day Pastor Johnson holding our pudgy Noah up in the air for all the congregation to see and welcome. We are thankful every day for having found Zion.
