Baptism at Samarkand
On Sunday afternoon March 26, Allison Prather and Krista Rodkey were baptized in the swimming pool at the Covenant Retirement Community, Samarkand. Both young women grew up at Montecito Covenant. Allison is in high school at Cate School and Krista is a student at Westmont College. Many members and friends of the young women and Montecito Covenant Church gathered around the pool as Pastors Diana Trautwein and Don Johnson read the words of institution and gave them opportunity to affirm their faith. Following the baptism, Christine Groppe, baptized 95 years ago, offered a prayer of blessing on both young women and all those gathered. We celebrated together how the waters of baptism mark our discipleship.
