Welcome, Baby Alexander!
Please welcome Alexander William Ware to the family of God!
On Sunday, August 31, 2025, Baby Alexander was baptized at Monaca United Methodist Church, with Pastor Jim Sands officiating. Alexander is the son of Danielle Cermak and Donald William Ware IV.
Alexander’s parents and three siblings participated in the beautiful ceremony.
A handmade baby blanket was presented as a gift on behalf of the church. Following worship, a celebratory luncheon was held in the Carey Community Center.
May little Alexander grow up knowing God with strength of mind, body, and spirit!
