Lucas started his church serving the other week. He is what they call a "boater" or "boat bearer". His job is to carry the little "boat" that carries the incense container (which looks kind of like a gravy boat).
The kick of it all is that he leads the church procession in and out with the thurifer (the one with the incense).
This first time, Lucas was paired up with Peter, our seminarian. Lucas is the shortest boat bearer by far (I have to hem his outfit!) and Peter is easily the tallest person in our congregation. They made quite a pair!
The best part of it all was the positive response he got from everyone. We have been going to St. Paul's since before I was even pregnant and these people have watched Lucas and Liliana grow up. Many of them said to me that it seemed like yesterday that he was in a Baby Bjorn on my chest. And now this....
He did a great job! So proud of him.
