Baptism is a beautiful gift from God – a sign of new birth, of complete forgiveness and acceptance, of the hope of eternal life and of belonging to a loving community. We hope you will experience all these things through the baptism service.
- For you it’s a chance to give thanks for your child, to start your child on the journey of faith, to renew your love for God.
- For your child it’s a beginning of life in God, a belonging to a worldwide church community and a light of hope through life and death.
- For the church it’s an opportunity – to love, welcome, support and pray for you and your child.
This is called a sacrament. In it we remember how God commits Himself to us, and we promise to live our lives for Him.
