Baptisms 8:45 Anne Reagan (Annie) Kirchgraber Daughter | Born: 5/23/19 Parents: Mary Catherine & Richard Kirchgraber Grandparents: Theresa & Paul Kirchgraber; Terri & Ed Marks; Elizabeth & David Sikes Great-Grandparents: Beverly & Ronald Eith; Eileen Kirchgraber; Martha & Billy Payne; Elaine Rohr; Jay Sikes PHILIPPIANS 1:9 –11

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.

Daxton DeVotie (Dax) Robertson Son | Born: 5/29/19 Parents: Tricia & E. Moss Robertson Siblings: Evan (5); Catherine Sanders Grandparents: Ann & Dr. James Evans Fussell; Carol Fussell; the late Catherine Robertson; Dr. E. Moss Robertson, Sr. Great-Grandfather: Dr. Louie DeVotie Newton PSALM 139:13 –16

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

Alden Ashley Sandrock Son | Born: 6/8/19 Parents: Michelle & Mark Sandrock Siblings: Ellis (4) Grandparents: Sherry & Dave Sandrock; Anne & Greg Tarbutton Great-Grandparents: Rachel Renar; Layne Tarbutton LUKE 2:40

“And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him.”

Adelaide Hill Holmes Daughter | Born: 2/5/19 Parents: Jeanette & William Holmes Grandparents: Susan & Doug Holmes; Karen & Jack Linville 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.

Caroline Elizabeth (Cece) Kaufman Daughter | Born: 6/17/19 Parents: Lindsay & Mark Kaufman Grandparents: Diane Kaufman; Margaret & Mark Kaufman; Carolyn & Andy McGhee Great-Grandparents: Betsy & Al McGhee; Bert Nordin; Michelle Nordin PHILIPPIANS 1:9 –11

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.

11:15 John Caldwell (John Wells) Albritton Son | Born: 7/17/19 Parents: Anna & Will Albritton Siblings: Collier (2) Grandparents: Lou Anne & Bill Albritton; Angie & Tom McKenzie 1 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.

John Hastings (Hastings) Hobart, III Son | Born: 2/12/19 Parents: Anne & John Hobart Siblings: Simms (2) Grandparents: Anne & Billy Carr; Clare & Jay Hobart; Ashley & Ralph Womble 1 SAMUEL 1:27–28

“I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him. So now I give him to the LORD. For his whole life he will be given over to the LORD.” And he worshiped the LORD there.

Noah James Leonard Son | Born: 7/31/18 Parents: Katie & Matthew Leonard Grandparents: Cary & Leon Leonard; Lynda & Billy Ward Great-Grandfather: Leon Leonard 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.

Evelyn Bowyer McManus Daughter | Born: 7/27/19 Parents: Leigh & Mark McManus Grandparents: Robyn & Mark McManus, Sr.; Mary K. Dennis O’Riley; Lisa & Bill Webb COLOSSIANS 3:17
