On Sunday we will be bringing Sampzen Patrick Price into the congregation of Christ's flock via the Sacrament of Holy Baptism.
Sampzen is the son of Crystal and Kyle Price of Surprise, Arizona, and the brother of Sedona Price, also of Surprise, AZ(!).
In preparation for this glorious event, we ask your prayers for both Sampsen and his family.
Pray also for his Godfathers Sean Clancy of Phoenix AZ and Derek Price or Rockford MI, and Godmother Emily Traher of Phoenix AZ.
THEY brought young children to Christ, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
- Mark 10:13ff
Sampzen's parents were married at Saint Luke's, while his sister Sedona, shown holding the "newborn" in the above picture, was also baptized in our parish!
