Free Family

Inscrit il y a 13 mois

September 1, 2008 was the day of John Free's Bar Mitzvah celebration. It was a whirlwind weekend. We all were in San Diego for our nephew Dan's wedding to sweet Paige the day before. Then back home on Monday, Labor Day, for John's event. Thanks to all of you who attended, and especially the minyon who blessed our family with heavenly wisdom. John has promised to take your words to heart as he grows into the man God has called him to be. Thanks to the Tree of Life Christian Church who hosted the event, and to Brad who set up, broke down, and did the audio. Hugs to Lynnelle who created the beautiful calligraphy posters of ancient Hebrew prayers. (We missed you and Dean!) Please enjoy these videos from the ceremony. They are in backwards order, so you'll have to the "oldest" page and look for Part 1, Part 2, and so on. If you'd like to see some stills from the day and from the wedding, please see our albums at:

Finally, the Bar Mitzvah gets to have his say. John spent months memorizing Acts 7. As you can see he really put his heart and soul into it. We are very proud of our son.
