Baptism at St. Thomas, Newhey
These usually take place on the third Sunday of each month at 12. 30pm
What is Baptism?
- It is the way we join the Christian Church.
- It is a sign of wanting to follow Jesus Christ and to be part of His family.
Is it only for babies?
- No it is for everyone who wants to be part of the church.
What do we promise?
- To follow Jesus Christ and to avoid what is wrong (sin).
- To trust God.
Can a baby make promises?
- No of course not! Parents and Godparents make the promises for the baby and for themselves.
What if Godparents can't honestly make the promises?
- They can be a sponsor instead and will only answer the questions if they choose but they will still be special to the baby.
What if we really just want to celebrate our baby?
- What a lovely thing to do!
