Rites of Passage

June 16th, 2008 No comments »

* WPG2 Plugin Not Validated *On Saturday the 14th, our church in Fairfield help their annual Rites of Passage service.

It’s primarily a ceremony for young folks that have recently graduated from high school and are getting ready to take that next big step in their lives and head off to college. But for the little kids, it’s an inclusion in the Village atmosphere (you’ve all heard the African proverb “it takes a village to raise a child…”)

Check out the pictures from the day here. There would be more of Isaiah, but he fell asleep right before the program started.
