We have a Baptismal Pool. The two young girls and one older woman being Baptized on Holy Saturday, knelt in the pool, and Father Mike poured water over their heads from a large glass pitcher. You could tell by their expressions that it was cold!

It was a wonderful sight later, at the Offertory, when the three returned. The little girls were dressed in tea length white dresses, and the older woman was in a white robe over her clothes. We, in the choir, were singing "For All the Saints", and I got so fahklempt when those little girls walked up the aisle, that I couldn't continue singing. We had another woman and two men who were Confirmed, and received Holy Communion, along with the three who were Baptized earlier.
