On Pentecost, the two main services at All Saint’s. Fort Worth, were filled with adults wearing red and babies wearing white as the Rev. Christopher Jambor and Bishop Rayford High baptized eleven babiies and administered First Communion to six little girls. Bishop High smilingly pointed out that the babies participated very vocally in the liturgy.
Babies baptized at the 9 am service were:
- Willa Leigh Giesinger, daughter of Jason Giesinger and Ashley Kirk
- Pierce Samuel Greenhaw, son of Frank and Robin Greenhaw
- Houston King Roberts, son of Gordon and Kelley Roberts
- Lucille “Lucy” Bassett Shaw, daughter of John and Sarah Shaw
- Wyatt Bailey Shelton, son of Geoffrey and Nicole Shelton
Babies baptized at the 11:15 am service were:
- Beck Coleman Arlington, son of Brad and Angie Arlington
- Elle Virginia Denofrio, daughter of Joel Denofrio and Virginia Estrada
- Katherine-Kent Dean Dickerson, daughter of Ryan and Lindsey Dickerson
- Olivia Jeanette Ibañez, daughter of Sean and Diana Ibañez
- William Bradford Dickerson, son of Bradford and Katherine Dickerson
- Evelyn Grace Dickerson, daughter of Bradford and Katherine Dickerson
The girls who received their First Communion were:
- Grace Caroline King
- Harriet Holotik King
- Amabel Elizabeth Giesinger
- Georgia Grace Giesinger
- Victoria Elise Jordan
- Louise Elizabeth Shelton
Jambor presented Bishop High with a pair of boots representing the pair that will be custom made for him as a gift from All Saints. He was careful to point out that All Saints’ was not “giving the bishop the boot.” He also presented Bishop High with a new white straw cowboy hat, which Bishop High immediately put on, much to the congregation’s delight.
