CONGRATULATIONS to those who were chrismated last Thursday, and to their sponsors:

· Dr. Neil Woodward is the husband of Geni Thomas Woodward, and has been attending St Elijah for some time. He is a mostly retired colorectal surgeon who has taught all over the world. We are delighted that he is taking this step of becoming a full, sacramental member of our parish family. His sponsors were Bob and Cece Floyd.

· Don, Mary, Katherine, Joseph, Ruby and Aidan Pendergraft came to our parish last year. Don is a former Anglican priest and now works in Information Technology. He is pleased to have recently joined the choir at St. Elijah. Mary worked as a Speech Language Pathologist, but has been a stay-at-home mom and homeschooler for the past 12 years. Katherine (15) is a sophomore at Edmond Memorial and is a competitive swimmer, musician, singer and songwriter and has also recently joined the choir at St. Elijah. Joseph (11) plays the upright bass and enjoys music and video games. Ruby (7) loves the piano and performing, and Aidan loves Sponge Bob and being 5. All are thrilled to be members of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. Their sponsors were Dr. Paul and Nina Massad, and Terry and Nancy Hebert (of Dallas).

Please take some time to meet and welcome our new members. May God grant them many years.
