Sunday morning worship at Cambridge church begins with song.
This Sunday is special for the church. A baptism will take place. Pastor Jay Smith prepares for it.
He jokes that the water in the baptismal pool is cold. The heater that usually warms it isn't working this morning.
Cold water doesn't deter Steven as Pastor Jay baptizes him.
Win Davis, pastor to youth and young adults, greets visitors and tells those gathered that this church is a family. He then asks ... 
... everyone to greet one another.
Children from the congregation "high-five" Pastor Jay during his talk with them.
They move to a classroom where they take turns reading the Bible and discussing it while their parents continue worship in the sanctuary.
Board members of the American Belarussian Relief Organization (ABRO) have lunch following a meeting of the 501c3, non-profit humanitarian relief organization. It's been a good year. In spite of the global economic downturn, the organization assisted 320 children exposed to radiation from the Chernobyl nuclear accident this summer.
Danita Strong — who with her husband Joe runs the organization — serves cake during the luncheon.

Jordan, left, checks out the homemade necklace Jenine is wearing today in the Daily Grind ...
... and waves goodbye to other customers as she and her mother leave the coffee shop.
Jenine displays the necklace. She also displays a couple of lost teeth. More are loose. Her mouth gets more interesting with the lose of each tooth.
It's Sarah's last day at the Daily Grind. She leaves Saturday for New York University where she will to study music. Last week we celebrated her time with us. Today we say goodbye and ask her to make one last cappuccino.
It's the end of the day. A good way to spend it is to sit at the bar in the SeaFire Grill and talk with the staff over salad with house dressing, clams with linguini and steamed shrimp. Lindsey takes our order and gets us started ... a couple of club sodas ... with lime of course.
Over the years Ken and I have shared assignments in interesting situations, kept each other in and out of trouble, and survived it all by watching out for one another's back. Today we share a meal at Karen's City Diner on Broad Street. It is a great place for breakfast and lunch.
David, left, stops by an exhibit on Asia while leading a tour along Monument Avenue. All participants are either Deaf or Deaf translators. David is also Deaf.
David's tour group talks with one another as they follow him through the tour. They share a common language that transcends geographic, cultural and national barriers that impede those with a spoken language.
Liam makes sure his baby gets all the attention his little sister Harper does. Shortly after she was born earlier this year, Liam began doing for this baby what his mother does for his little sister.

A message from Pastor Jay Smith is part of Sunday worship service at Cambridge church .
Somewhere is the midst of the huddle is Erin. She grew up at Cambridge and graduated high school this spring. She will work at an orphanage in Central America the next three months before beginning university studies in the spring. Members of the church gather around her to pledge their support and pray for her.
When the huddle dissolves, Erin receives final words from Win Davis, minister to youth and young adults.

Instant hair for fifty cents! Ferris sports a pair of faux sideburns. His brother Shawn bought a goatee, but the match with Shawn's hair wasn't as good as it was for Ferris.
I never learn the name of this young pup. She patiently awaits her people, tethered to their RV beneath a copse of oak trees with plenty of food, water and shelter.*
