Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but re-joices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
We are pleased to welcome newly
baptized child of God!
