Father-Daughter Purity Ball

 
Last night was the long awaited Father-Daughter Ball at our church. It was a very special evening. Here is what was on the program:

Dinner is Served
Opening Prayer - Pastor Bill Donovan

A Call to Covenant - Pastor Steve Holsinger
Signing of the Covenant

Special Music
Lauren Green - Soprano

Princess to Princess
Mrs. Alaska United States 2007 - Jeannine Jabbay

Dessert
Waltz - Mindy Meier & Patrick Slores-Muller

May I Have This Dance

Prayer for Generations
Pastor Steve Holsinger

Presentation of the Swords at the Cross
The swords were presented as a symbol of fathers and families protecting the hearts of their daughters.

Presentation of White Roses at the Cross
The symbol of the daughter's commitment to purity: Emotionally, spiritually, and physically.

(Sponsored by: CPC Pregnancy Center of Anchorage & Faith Christian Community)
And here are the pictures from this wonderful night. To say the least, Carl and Katie had a fabulous time and both were extremely blessed. And I am so thankful and blessed for the bond that they share.


Joyfully,

Jackie

P.S. You may remember Katie wearing this dress for the RefresHer event earlier this month. We actually bought the dress for the Ball last night (originally scheduled in February), but it was postponed and she wore it for the other event first. I asked her if she wanted her dad to escort her to the stage at that event, but she said, 'No. I don't want him to see me in my dress until the Father-Daughter Ball.' I thought that was precious.

Katie was surprised that her Daddy bought her a corsage.
 

 

Pure joy!
 

Stunning!
This is true love. Carl learning the waltz for his princess.

My new favorite picture!
Special friends.


Daddy presented Katie with a beautiful diamond necklace.

I LOVE this!! Katie knows how precious she is, but, this event... when Dad got to shower his love and attention just on her was the cherry on top!! How much more equipped she is to choose a godly man who cherishes her when that time comes. Less heartache, more joy!! :D Great job Dad and FCC!! :D
