SACRED ORDINANCE

SATURDAY, MAY 08, 2010 This morning my favorite cousin Sherilyn called to remind me that her granddaughter Analise was getting baptized this morning at 10:30. It was a nice and unique ordinance. Unique in the sense that she and Marlon have fifteen children, all but David living, all but two, if I’m not mistaken, married and most of them have children. One at least has six children of their own. We nearly filled up the Relief Society/Baptismal Room. I think there were only two that weren’t family members and only three of us family members who weren’t Sherilyn and Marlon’s family. Their youngest child Angie who I keep thinking of as a twelve year old but who is now eighteen and graduating from Lehi High School on the 27th gave a wonderful talk on baptism. She pulled up two chairs facing each other and talked as if it were just the two of them but of course loud enough for everyone to hear. The program went as follows: Baptism of Analese Marie Kent May 8, 2010 Conducting Emil Hahn (a member of Marlon and Sherilyn’s bishopric.) Chorister Sherilyn Kent (grandmother) Pianist Tawnya Harrison Opening song Called to Serve Opening Prayer Marlon Kent (grandfather) Talk Angela Nicole Kent Baptismal Ordinance Performed by: Alan Kent (father) Special Musical Number (song) Sarai Kent (sister) Talk Kristin Kent Ordinance of Confirmation Performed by: Alan Kent Closing song I Am a Child of God Closing prayer Sherilyn Kent Later Judy & I, Chris & Sierra, Jim, Molly & Austin, Corey, Jayden & Bailey, Greg, Niki, Alexa & Gavin all met at Joe’s Crab Shack at Jordan Commons for dinner.
