Dear Ella . . .

Today you got to visit our church for the first time. We went to a Mother's Day brunch with Grandma and everyone just oo'ed and ah'ed over you. Faith UMC is such a beautiful place. It reminds Mommy of her favorite place to go - Camp Sumatanga (you'll learn more about that later). Even more important though is that Faith is full of beautiful people. I can't wait for you to get to know more of them and let them help Mommy and Daddy teach you about Jesus.

You're not quite big enough to go to a worship service on Sunday mornings yet. There too many people and germies to worry about right now. But in a few short weeks you will get to go and I know you will just love it! My hope and prayer is that you will grow to love the Church and always have a willing heart to serve wherever God calls you.
