Please join us Saturday, January 4, 2025, 11a.m.-2p.m. for an open house co-ed, family friendly, baby shower party to celebrate the arrival of the newest member of our family, Talitha Maria Goins (Tali girl) who is due to be born March 2, 2025. Sonia is excited she is having a little sister and she loves to tell people she is a big sister. We have prayed and waited a long time for Talitha, and we can’t wait to celebrate the miracle of her life with you!
Hot cocoa bar and food provided by hosts.
Hosted by grandparents extraordinaire, Ed and Cheryl Goins (also known as Pops and Tutu).
We are registered at Babylist.com. Since Sonia was adopted through foster care we did not have a baby shower but we have many clothes and toys from gifts we received for Sonia or bought ourselves that we will hand down to her little sister, Talitha. This registry includes items we still need for our new baby girl. Gifts are not necessary but appreciated! Please click the link below to be directed to our registry.
Mark 5:21-24, 35-42
When Jesus had crossed again [in the boat] to the other side, a large crowd gathered around him, and he stayed close to the sea.
One of the synagogue officials, named Jairus, came forward. Seeing him he fell at his feet and pleaded earnestly with him, saying, “My daughter is at the point of death. Please, come lay your hands on her that she may get well and live.”
He went off with him, and a large crowd followed him and pressed upon him.
(…) While he was still speaking, people from the synagogue official’s house arrived and said, “Your daughter has died; why trouble the teacher any longer?”
Disregarding the message that was reported, Jesus said to the synagogue official, “Do not be afraid; just have faith.”
He did not allow anyone to accompany him inside except Peter, James, and John, the brother of James.
When they arrived at the house of the synagogue official, he caught sight of a commotion, people weeping and wailing loudly.
So he went in and said to them, “Why this commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but asleep.”
And they ridiculed him. Then he put them all out. He took along the child’s father and mother and those who were with him and entered the room where the child was.
He took the child by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum,” which means, “Little girl, I say to you, arise!”
The girl, a child of twelve, arose immediately and walked around. [At that] they were utterly astounded.
