| St Mark's, Ottawa, is concerned about becoming an 'aging' church, and in recent
years experienced a decline in young families. However, on November 25, 2007,
St Mark's was alive with the sound of many children.
St Mark's Mothers' Union (MU) group had organized a Family Reunion, inviting
families, who had had their children baptized in the past ten years, to celebrate
their Baptism and the Reign of Christ the King.
Fourteen young families, over 50 people, were part of this joyous occasion.
Young people read the lessons and shared the prayers of the people.
The rafters were raised with children's voices, singing 'Joy is a flag flown high' ,
parading around the church waving flags and wearing crowns.
The celebration was followed by lunch provided by MU.
Halleluiah - praise ye the Lord .... the King is in Residence here |
