Here is his good friend, Caleb, doing his Spiritual Statement (note Cody waiting for his turn on the bench).
Cody getting to the mic for his statement.
This is Mark, Cody's mentor for the class. The church set us up with Mark and it was lovely to meet somebody new in the church and get to know him and his family. I know Cody had a good time getting to know him and having their time together.

All the boys.
It was a lovely service and showed us (once again) what a great community we have found ourselves in. We are not members of the church yet, but more and more I feel the pull to take that next step.
Thank you to so many who sent letters of advise to Cody for his "Wisdom Book".
Thank you for sharing Cody's Coming of Age ceremony with us. The pictures are great, and what a lovely idea for Cody to wear Slade's shirt!
ReplyDeleteYour interest in the community sounds as though it is well backed up with the experience Cody is having.
Good luck in your faith journey!
love,

it actually wasn't an idea to have cody wear it, slade just noticed it as we were looking for a clean shirt for the kid. the other option was a bright yellow shirt of gordon's. i forgot to get a pick of him wearing his coat - which is one of gordon's.
