This Monday, we celebrated Grace & Tony’s Baby Shower (they’re expecting a baby girl at the end of this month)! We had a fun time of playing games, with a diaper changing contest, Baby Trivia, and ‘Is It Grace or Tony’? Kairos W had a lot of fun making a Diaper Cake for the Baby (hopefully, nobody will attempt to eat this)! And we also had a baby name chart, on which people wrote their suggestions for baby names — my favorites were Chee (as in Kim, Chee) and AnTONYa! The most touching part of the evening was when the older ones in the room lovingly gave words of wisdom and lessons learned from their own experiences to the expecting couple.
One of the things I’ve come to love about our church is that we do life together, in community. I was reminded of this again at the baby shower, seeing Grace & Tony surrounded by their leaders, peers, and students, who showed their support as they embark on this new, fearful, but exciting chapter in their lives. It’s a blessing that we never have to face life’s challenges alone. We have older ones who’ve gone before us to lead the way, peers alongside us to lend support and encouragement, and younger ones to motivate and spur us on to being good examples. We’re so thankful that God has prepared such a loving environment for Baby Kim to grow up in… Kairos W excitedly await your arrival and commit to being good aunties to you, Baby Kim!

Just reading this post is a reminder of how blessed I am to be part of this community. THANK YOU AGAIN for sharing this special occasion with Grace and I. Thank you for the diaper cake!
(We used it all up already, within two weeks) Baby Lois will be coming to service in about a week!
