Bella’s Baptism
“You are marked with the cross of Christ, and sealed by the Holy Spirit forever.” Bella is now an official baptized member of Grace Lutheran. Hooray! It was very special to be able to share a baptism by way of immersion at the parsonage pool too! Thanks to all you helped, especially Sheri, for hospitality! Prayers and blessing to Tish, Chantel, and Rosie!
Grape Harvest
Thank you to everyone who attended the grape harvest on Saturday August 27. We harvested about a barrel and a half of grapes. Brain A. transported them to San Giorgio winery where Ronan helped crush them with his feet. The crusher de-stemmer helped too and finally we had as much as 27 gallons of must. George predicts this will generate 17 gallons of wine. Last year we produced 19 gallons.
A note from George Walker, of San Giorgio,
“Pitching your yeast today [Sunday]. If you are ever close by and want to come punch the church’s fermenting must, just give me a heads up. We strive to do it at least 3 times per day. More often is good. It’s all part of the process! It will probably be at least 3 weeks for the fermentation process to conclude. Then to the press. You might definitely want to come for that…even make it a parish party!
Take care and God bless…
propter amorem vini et veritatis,
George
