We wrote a letter to Matthew, that we read to the congregation. Being the sap that I am, I could barely read my part, and cried hard. :-)
Our elders then prayed over us and Matthew. This was so special to us, to have Matthew dedicated at our new church home. Everyone is so friendly and caring at this church, and we really feel like we have found a home.
After church we had our families over for a big lasagna dinner and also celebrated my birthday! We had a great time eating, and eating, and eating and just hanging out. We were glad that Chris's parents could make the trip from Victoria to be with us this weekend.

I love baby dedications...and what a cute baby too!
look how many people you can fit in your dining room!!!
What church are you guys going to now?
We left Mt. View about a year and a half ago and have been going to Cornerstone Church in Gresham. The pastor is Barry Arnold who was out at Good Shepherd. It was started about 4 years ago and meets at Powell Valley Grade school (2 blocks from our house). We really wanted a much smaller church than MVCC and wanted a church that was much more missions oriented. (among other things):-) We love Mt. View, and it was hard to leave, but it has been such a blessing.
