Dear and I were able to get away on an overnight trip to Bainbridge Island and we decided to drive up to the Kitsap Peninsula through the Nordic town of Poulsbo on our way home. We were pleasantly surprised by a very nice and sunny mid-morning to evening on this Saturday after being soaked by rain Friday night and early Saturday morning. I have lots to share from our wonderful getaway.
We had a wonderful Sunday morning at our own church, not this church I pictured. We were able to witness 15 or 43 total Baptisms. We have 3 services so the Baptisms were spaced out between the services. From elementary age children, high school, college, and older adults including a married couple we witnessed obedience to the Word of God to believe and be baptized.
I’m linking to InSPIREd Sunday with Beth and Sally and Sunlit Sunday at My Little Home and Garden.

Wow! What a thrilling experience to be present for so many baptisms! You had a wonderful day indeed! Praise God! Lovely church…love the blue & white, and the spires on the steeple are beautiful. They are sharing God’s Word too apparently!
That is a very pretty church spire. I like the blue.
I found a small country Lutheran church years ago with the same blue trim…a lovely touch. Tom The Backroads Traveller
I like the bright wooden churches, they are so different from our dark old Germans…
Wonderful to run off on a spring breeze. Sounds like a beautiful day! Have you thought any more about making Paska yet?
Still thinking about it, Vee. If I do it will be on the Saturday just before Easter Sunday!
So nice to meet you, Ellen. What a blessed day at church! This building you have featured is very unique with the blue. The windows are gorgeous. Wishing you a wonderful week. Hope to see you again!
So interesting with the blue trim!
What a truly beautiful church…let alone all those Baptisms!…:)JP

What a charming church!! Oh my – that’s A LOT of baptisms!
Beautiful church spires reaching skywards. I didn’t know that Poulsbo had Nordic roots. Fun sign.
Beautiful Ellen.
What a beautiful church! Well, visiting from Finland, I may be a partial commenter. 🙂
There are lovely photos in your blog, and the current header is gorgeous.
I joined the cooking blog, so now I can easily follow all the personal blogs too.
Have a lovely week ahead!
Beautiful pictures of the church. What a special day to witness so many baptisms.
That church has a wonderful paint job. I’m glad you could part of this special baptism day.
That is such a pretty church, with the touches of blue to complement the sky! It sounds like you had a lovely getaway.
