Post Falls Church Hosts Special Sabbath

By Jeanne Barrett-Usher, Febrero 10, 2017

It was an exciting Sabbath at Post Falls (Idaho) Church on Jan. 21, with a baby dedication and a member joining by profession of faith during the morning service.

Baby Patrick Scott was smiling as Moises Ramirez, Post Falls Church pastor, dedicated him to God, with his parents, Cody and Felicia Scott; his grandmother, Ari Buntain; and his great-grandmother, Barbara Utecht, proudly standing by. 

Another heartwarming moment was when Richard Lafferty was accepted into membership, after having studied with Ray and Jill Judge for years. Lafferty’s wife, Alice, was a member of Post Falls Church but died last year in a tragic accident — and she would have been excited her husband finally took the step to membership.
