Baptism - sometimes called a 'Christening'
Excited about your baptism enquiry
We are very excited that you would like to explore baptism at one of our churches.
Baptism is sometimes called ‘Christening’.
This description implies a process. The process is one that is live long, and over time the recipient of baptism strives to become more and more like the person of Jesus Christ.
John the Baptist who baptised Jesus, describes this journey best when he said: ” He must increase, I must decrease (John 3v30)
What do I do to find out more ?
Get in touch with the Parish Priest – the Rector- as soon as possible.
You can then begin making then necessary arrangements.
Sunday for Christians is the first day of the week, because it marks the day of Jesus’s resurrection from the darkness of the deathly grave, to the light of life led in its fullness.
As a consequence, baptism is held on Sundays and at the main Sunday service in your church.
This is because baptism -as a rite of passage- also marks the occasion when the person baptised joins God’s existing family who worship in your church.
