All of Tuba's dreams came true at church today. He got to serve as an acolyte on the altar! Thanks to our friend Subdeacon Romanos...who for many years has let Tuba extinguish candles with him...and told us that when Tuba was ready he would help him serve as an acolyte. Thanks to you Subdeacon...you made a little boy (and his parents) very happy:) Church is Tuba's favorite place in the world and you can tell by the HUGE smile on his face.

Getting the blessing from Fr. David
Holding his robe and "beaming"
Getting help from the other acolytes
Holding his candle during the scripture reading
Swaying away up on the altar
Assisting during communion
In the vestment room after the service with his acolyte buddies (who were a great help and very excited for Tuba). Thanks boys!
I never thought I'd see this many of Tuba's dreams realized. Thank you to Subdecon R. and thank you to all the church family.
