Baptisms 8:45 Brooks Albert Cornell Son | Born: 6/17/17 Parents: Lianne & Skip Cornell Siblings: Wells (3) Grandparents: Lynn & Howell Cornell; Ana & Dr. Cayetano Lopez-Cepero PROVERBS 3:5–6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
William Bowie Hutchinson Son | Born: 4/5/17 Parents: Lawren & Reid Hutchinson Siblings: Evans (4); Jax (3) Grandparents: Jim Hutchinson; Jan Thompson; Trisha & Larry Thompson; Robyn & Bob Turrill ROMANS 12:11–13

Connor James LaFoy Son | Born: 3/3/17 Parents: Cheryl & Matthew LaFoy Siblings: Mason (2) Grandparents: Mary Pauline & John LaFoy; Edna & Jerry Watts PROVERBS 21:1–5
My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.
Ava Margaret Marchant Daughter | Born: 4/9/17 Parents: Kimberly & Daniel Marchant Grandparents: Connie Craig; Lanelle & Rick Marchant MATTHEW 5:14–16
You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
10:00 Iris Emily Etzen Daughter | Born: 9/18/17 Parents: Heather & Jason Etzen Siblings: Winston (2) Grandparents: Barbara Etzen; Faye Yager; Dr. Howard Yager LUKE 10:27
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind”; and, “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Reagan Mary Kattman Daughter | Born: 4/19/17 Parents: Jessica & Jon Kattman Grandparents: Kelly & Bill Halnon; Linda & John Kattman ROMANS 12:15–18
Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
Baptisms Hunter Page Neel Daughter | Born: 5/12/17 Parents: Samantha & Casey Neel Grandparents: Kelly & Bill Halnon; Connie & Kevin Neel TIMOTHY 4:12
Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.
Caroline Grant Usilton Daughter | Born: 6/7/17 Parents: Anne & Zack Usilton Grandparents: Deborah & Bruce Ashendorf; Lynda & Allen Gudenrath; Valerie & Tom Usilton Great-Grandparents: Lynn & Bill Anderson; Nell Ashendorf; Grace Dendy; Millie Usilton ROMANS 5:1–5
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
11:15 Georgia Grace Borghi Daughter | Born: 9/24/17 Parents: Ginny & Nathan Borghi Siblings: Wells (2) Grandparents: Robbie & Ken Borghi; Carol & Frederick Hack I CORINTHIANS 13:4–7
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Keegan James Dowling Son | Born: 8/2/17 Parents: Katherine & Ryan Dowling Grandparents: Gail & Gary Dowling; Phyllis & Hugh Holley ROMANS 12:11–13
Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”
Barclay Reed (Reed) Taylor Son | Born: 8/29/16 Parents: Danielle & Barclay Taylor Grandparents: MaryEllen & Eric Lehman; Marilyn & Tony Russo; Ellen Steele; Peggy & Adrain Taylor MATTHEW 5:14–16
You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
