Last Sunday, August 11, congregants from the Faith Temple Church of God in Christ gathered at Columbia River Park for a mass baptism. About 50 people were baptized at the ceremony.
Safety cones were removed as another boater decided he needed to use the boat ramp, too.
Soon, the faithful lined up along the ramp.
Good will was abundant.
Many watched the proceedings as the ceremony began.
Others watched from the top of the ramp.

Baptismal candidates entered the water.
The woman on the left had just been baptized.
Nine-year-old Imari Emerson waited, as Reverend Darnell Bowman, left, and church elder, Ismael Garcia, prepared to baptize her.
Waiting . . .
Hooray!
