China quake death toll could rise to 50,000


Being a mother, my heart goes out to all of the families affected by the earthquake in China. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to blog about it – but I feel that I should, because my heart is heavy for them, as I see the many pictures on the news and online.

CNN just showed one mother waiting - for days - to find her daughter. When the workers found the child and pulled her from the rubble, her mother started to weep. A mother never loses hope, even when things look grim. But this was the blow that brought her to her knees. Being a mother she tried to go to her, but a gentleman with her, pulled her back and cradled her in his arms.

Prayers for peace I send to you Mothers…prayers to heal your heart, I send your way.

Baptism & Christening


Blessing your child with a Baptism or Christening can be done anywhere that you and your family wish to celebrate it. A gathering of loving well wishers is a powerful beginning and all that is needed to start your child on a new path with the Divine.

If you have chosen Godparents, they are encouraged to attend. This is their opportunity to show their intensions and to publicly recognize the presence of that Divine spark within your child.

The same service will be performed with older children as it is with an infant, with one exception-the child will be asked of his/her intensions if they are 12 years old or older.

Adopted children can also receive this blessing.

Stop by Blessings All Around , Rev. Angela Butts-Chester, D.D., will be more than happy to go over everything with you.
