This evening we had a baptism service at church. I guess as far as Anglican churches go we are quite odd as we have a baptistry. Tonight 3 fantastic young people were baptised.

I had the pleasure of being able to share my brief thoughts on the older son from the Prodigal, while Sarah and Jake shared thoughts on the father and the younger son.

Tonight it was fantastic to see these young people supported by members of St Marks and at least 3 other local churches, friends from Gillingham YFC and family members who had traveled from as far away as Taunton.

A baptism service is always so exciting to see and, I think, a real privilege to be able to be present at.

In all- it has been a pretty cool weekend!
