The Rev. Krista Dias (Curate at Christ Church in Short Hills), her husband John and their older daughter are happy to welcome the newest addition to their family: Molly Kaarin Dias, born on June 13, 2014 at 2:47 p.m.
Molly weighs 7 lbs., 11 oz., and the Dias family reports that all are happy, healthy and feeling blessed (albeit a little sleepy). As an additional blessing, Molly arrived home from the hospital on Father's Day!
A warm welcome to little Molly, and congratulations to the Dias family.
O God, you have taught us through your blessed Son that whoever receives a little child in the name of Christ receives Christ himself: We give thanks for the blessing you have bestowed upon this family in giving them a child. Confirm their joy by a lively sense of your presence with them, and give them calm strength and patient wisdom as they seek to bring this child to love all that is true and noble, just and pure, lovable and gracious, excellent and admirable, following the example of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen. (BCP, p. 443)
