Confirmed in Christ

Last weekend, Cy gave his faith statement at church.  He did a great job!  I like how he mentioned working with his dad and learning to do everything well, "as working for the Lord and not for man" (Colossians).  

 Pastor Mark blessed each one of the confirmands...it was a big service because as you can see..

 it was a really BIG confirmation class!  What started out as nine kids from our church ended up being eighteen!  Friends brought friends.  Pastor Mark does a great job with the kids!

Nathan, Felicia, Cy, Maddy, Hannah among others

Lots of family came back for this, including Cy's godparents Uncle Brian and Aunt Sara!

 It was great to have a beautiful afternoon to enjoy family, food, and sports.  I thought they'd play softball, but this time it was basketball!

 Uncle Jamey and his almost-1-year-old daughter Harper!

 The newest Engelke cousin, Charlie! with Grandma E. and his daddy Uncle Tim :)

 Maddy and Wynne opening up Wynne's birthday presents....Look! Juicy fruit!!

 Mark set up the mini-basketball backboards from his mom's house (probably 20 years old) so the Siegert uncles had some nostalgic times playing garage hoops.!

 Payton and Brock, the almost-4 and 4-year-old cousins! Sorry we lost that steering wheel a long time ago...but the dumper still works;)

Grandpa Donny and Wynne

 Uncle Mark gave 4-wheeler rides......

 ...and one last basketball game with a very accomplished little baller, Brock!

Thanks to everyone who made it!  What a special day it was for our son!
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.--Colossians 3:17
