Adult BaptismAdult Baptism

From Rev'd Robin Pye:

Three or four times a year I get to baptise an adult. It's a great privilege to be able to do this.   

I still remember the first time I baptised an adult. It was a woman who stepped forward at the baptism of somebody else's child and asked to be baptised. She then joined a course I ran on being a Christian. But it all started with what seemed to be a spontaneous response to the promptings of the Holy Spirit.  

This picture shows Callie's baptism. She brought her daughter to be baptised and asked to be baptised herself. Her parents were watching via Whatsapp in another part of the world. I hope and believe that this is another step of Callie's journey towards the God who loves her and reaches out to her. We can all be inspired by the step that Callie took in our church and her willingness to share this image with the rest of the world.
