CHURCH NEWS On July 10, another baptism was held at Airdrie Seventh- day Adventist Church conducted by Honey Todd. Both Chris Street and Roberto Grageda have been part of the Mountain View Church family for quite a while. It brought such joy to see them make their commitment through baptism. Desi and Plam Paskalev and Terri Waller led congregational singing; Don Corkum led in voting Chris and Roberto into church membership; and the congregation offered their congratulations and support at the close of the service. Many gathered at Nose Creek Park in Airdrie following the service for a "bring your own" supper picnic. It was a gorgeous day! At the same time, at Wedge Pond in Kananaskis, another baptism took place. Antunes baptized Emanuel "Manu" Queiroz. Many of her Brazilian friends from
Mountain View and other Seventh-day Adventist churches in the Calgary area joined in celebrating the baptism at the pond. Manu gave her testimony at church on July 24. Again, on July 31, yet another baptism was held at the Airdrie Church when Mike Tokarev publicly expressed his commitment to the Lord in baptism. Todd officiated, and Corkum led in having the congregation vote Mike into membership. Rachel Miranda led us in singing during the service. Both baptisms conducted by Todd were a celebration with balloons and joyous expressions of praise. Because it was such a beautiful day, we were glad to gather at Nose Creek Park for another picnic supper. Mountain View rejoices and welcomes each of these friends into membership and fellowship. —Submitted by Phyllis Corkum
