A Baptism - Week 3

On Sunday 19th September, my predecessor, Saskia Fischer, whose family lives in the countryside to the north of Frankfurt (Oder), got baptised in a round church in Frankfurt (Oder), and I played keyboard for the service, having practised at intervals on the previous two days at the CVJM Family weekend away. It went fairly well. A few of her friends from Tensing who where there sung a song which I also accompanied.

She decided to get baptised as a result of her year’s volunteering, as far as I understand. She’s now spending a year in the Ukraine, running school projects on the EU and teaching the children there about Germany. Brave girl.

Afterwards we were treated to lots and lots of food at her parents‘ home in the countryside, with a BBQ including a roast hog/similar, and otherwise lots and lots of cakes. Yum. A few relatives gave speeches.
