Baptisms

For some reason or other we seem to be enjoying an upsurge in infant baptisms recently. It has been our policy to hold baptisms in the Friday morning family service, but baptisms every week can get a bit disruptive to the normal course of our worship and teaching. So a decision has been made that while we will continue to occasionally have baptisms in the Friday Family Service a special baptism service is also taking place a little later at 11.30 a.m. when required. Another congregation has this worship ‘slot’ regularly booked but since they do not require it every week on those occasions it is available to us.

Friday Family Service

Two developments are being considered to enhance our Friday Service. Small children can by nature be noisy creatures but we still love them. To help us get over the difficulty some people have hearing the readings etc, especially when there are up to 40 children present, we are investigating the installation of a public address system. Secondly, after Easter, a regular children’s Friday School is to be organized so that children can have their own ‘time out’ from the main service if they wish.
