Organ Postlude:  Day by Day – Denton                      Gloria Wilkins

With all their hearts, the Dutch believed in this passage of

scripture concerning their infant children – that this

symbol of the Christian faith might early become a part of

the child’s conscience.  The Dutch Cradle Cross on the

Altar this morning is in honor of Baylee Paige Cowger,

born February 18, 2010 to Robert Lee Cowger, III and Liza

Marie Abbott.
