New baptismal font
On June 8 FirstLight worship dedicated a new baptismal font for use in that service. Since beginning in 2007, FirstLight has “borrowed” the sanctuary font for water rites. Art De Jong perceived a need, began a conversation with key leaders in the congregation and then designed, built and donated a wood frame, glass bowl and glass pitcher for use in FirstLight. Art’s commitment to fostering FirstLight has been constant over the years, and this was a logical outgrowth of that commitment. After consulting with Shannon Kershner and Mike Barker in February of this year, and getting approval from the Worship & Music ministry and Session, Art constructed the wood frame himself; he commissioned the bowl and pitcher from John Miquel Almaguer of Asheville. We are thankful to Art for his long-standing commitment to worship at FirstLight, his generosity in offering and creating this fine piece of liturgical furniture, and to God for bringing this fruit to bear.
