Baptism, June 26, 2016

Baptism is a gift from God.  There is nothing we can do to earn, deserve, or purchase baptism.  It is first of all a sign that God, in Christ, has done all that is necessary to redeem us.  The mystery of faith is that God’s act of self-giving is offered to us freely, long before we begin to recognize, want, or understand it.

(Book of Common Worship, 1991)

Youth and Graduate Sunday 2016

On Sunday June 19, 2016 we gathered for an all-ages worship service, followed by a hearty BBQ, to celebrate the conclusion of another school year, thank our teachers and congratulate those graduating from high school and university. We also bid good-bye to a much loved family, who are returning to their family roots in British Columbia.

Enjoy a few snapshots of the day:

After buying our house online, we arrived for the first time ever to this strange city called Fredericton, New Brunswick.  With a newborn and a toddler, we weren’t sure what to expect but promised family out West that we’d be back within two years.

Now ten years later (to the exact day!), we are finally moving back West as we had promised our family.  The fact that we stayed so long is a testament to the beautiful East Coast lifestyle but mainly to the incredibly hospitable and wonderful community and people of St Andrew’s Church.  You became family to us as you celebrated and welcomed three new babies, encouraged us in our parenting and journeyed with us through the joys and difficulties of life.  God used so many of you in such meaningful ways over the years.  Our hearts are forever grateful for how you welcomed and loved us all.

We will miss you and look forward to having any of you over to our new home in BC.

Much love, the Zuidhof Zoo
