Most of the Chancel and Altar furnishings at St. Paul’s CEC in Henderson, Nevada were made or refurbished by Fr. Bruce LaPier of St. James CEC in Williams, Arizona.

The most recent blessing we received was a baptismal font artfully adorned to match the existing textures and colors of the wood pews, lectern, pulpit, and altar. The font stands at the entrance to the Sanctuary as a permanent fixture reminding us all of our own entrance into the Church through Baptism.

Although the font has been at St. Paul’s for several weeks, on Sunday July11th we had an opportunity to use it for the first time with the Baptism of James Anthony Palsgrove who was born May 14th 2010. The Palsgroves asked Fr. Jerry and Clara Meixner to be the Godparents – an honor and awesome responsibility they gladly accepted.

In honor of his hard work and loving sacrifice, Fr. David Hoff, Rector of St. Paul's, invited Fr. LaPier to be the celebrant for the occasion. Click here to learn more about Saint Paul’s CEC from their website.
