Baptism
Through baptism one becomes a member of the local worshipping community. One of the first greetings in the celebration of the sacrament of baptism is:
‘The Christian community welcomes you with great joy and in its name, I claim you for Christ our Saviour.’
Arranging a Baptism
For your first child, it is necessary to attend two preparation sessions, usually held on a Thursday night every other month. For subsequent children, you only need to attend one session.
Baptisms take place on the first Sunday of the month at 3pm as part of a group celebration.
