We had a great time in church this morning.

Sarah led an excellent service in which 3 of our young people were baptised by full immersion.

As is our custom the 3 young people shared with the congregation why they wanted to be baptised and I always find this an incredibly exciting and personally challenging event at St. Mark’s.

Today, as always, all the reasons were different; one wanting to acknowledge the difference that Jesus has made to her life, one as a response to a message that an angel had given him and one because he wanted to publicly state that he now owned his own faith as he had grown in a Christian family.

Three completely different reasons and 3 completely valid reasons.
