Blessing of the Keys - Derek Gilbert |
|
On October 28, 2007, Derek Gilbert, son of Matt and Wanda Fortin passed the milestone we call Blessing of the Young Driver and Car Keys. At the 10:30 service, a keychain that bears Luther's seal was given to Derek as a reminder that the gifts God continues to grant us day after day in every place we travel must be exercised with responsibility to God and all of the people around us. He received the blessing of the congregation. Derek brought with him one of the things that he used as a younger youth, an object that he passed on to another. He surrendered a book, one that he enjoyed as a child, but no longer reads. For him it is a sign of time gone by, of a time that will not come again. When you see, please express your encouragement to him, and remind him that we pray for him as he moves on to this new phase of his life.. |
