Fully Soaked!!

On Sunday evening, 12th December, we were delighted to baptise 8 young people - Rachel, Lucy, Jordan, Holly, Gemma, Emily, Charis and Asher. The church was packed with friends and family as the young people shared the stories of how they had come to this point in their faith journeys and then were baptised. We had a joyful time worshipping, each one having chosen a song. We pray for God's blessings on all our young people this week and look forward to more baptisms to come.

The young people shared their different stories. Some had been brought up in church families all their lives and couldn’t point to particular dates of conversion. Others have only started attending church more recently. They all testified to their faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord, and their desire to serve God with their lives.
It was particularly poignant to welcome Gemma’s Grandad into the baptismal pool to baptise her; for Ian to baptise his eldest children, Asher and Charis; and for Sally to baptise her daughter Emily.
Our rejoicing continued with coffee, cake and chip butties after the service!
