Confirming His Faith

Yesterday was Andy's confirmation. After two intense years of study of the Bible and the catechism, he publicly confirmed the faith he was given in Christ. He did a fantastic job! If he was nervous at all, it didn't show.


Friends and family came and helped us celebrate, which was fun! We had a terrific time and ate LOTS of FANTASTIC German food! It was the perfect way to celebrate our Lutheran heritage! And it was yummy, too! We had sauerbraten, spaetzle, fondue with breads and veggies, sausages, sauerkraut, potato salad, applesauce, Black Forest cake and apple crisp.

the grand finale: Black Forest cake
Ada like the spaetzle and applesauce


Will was a popular party game...
as was chess
Seamus was the party photographer
Ada liked the ribbon


Yay! You got it!

Thanks everyone!
Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding Proverbs 3:3-5






















We are proud of you Andy and are looking forward to what God calls you to!

Congrats to Andy! It's a momentous occasion. Good on him!
Great to see enough friends and family supported him to demolish the fantastic spread. That enormous cake alone was fantastic.
Blessings.
