On Nov. 21, 2009, the Middleton (Idaho) Seventh-day Adventist Church celebrated its first baptism in their new building. Alvin Schnell, head elder, baptized Charles and Frances Cortez. He also baptized his son-in-law, David Robertson.
Special guests for the occasion included Robertson’s parents from California. Harold Dixon, Idaho Conference treasurer, led the singing. A special guest, Eleanor Lay, who is 97 years old, was instrumental in introducing Charlie and Frances to the Adventist church when they were beginning a spiritual search.
Ann Hay was also a guest on this special Sabbath. She and her husband, Bob, donated a grand piano to the church in memory of their son, who died two years ago.
This is just one more exciting milestone for the Middleton Church.
Alvin Schnell, Middleton (Idaho) Church head elder, baptizes his son-in-law David Robertson, one of the first in the new church building.
