Look Who’s Coming to Church

Three-month-old Mary Grace, daughter of Christie and Colin Brown, made her St. Dunstan’s debut this morning at the early service. Her mother held her in the vestibule before the service, the result of which was that as each of us caught sight of her, we each melted into smiles and baby words and welcomes. “So you are Mary Grace.” Blue eyes, brown hair, perfectly formed little being. After the service, several us of stood in line for a chance to hold the new baby—we passed her around carefully (the only one she almost cried for was James, but he explained that that’s often what happens when he holds good looking women). Other things took place this morning, I’m sure they must have, but none as special as getting to welcome Mary Grace.
