Getting ready for the baptisms

It will be a special day next Sunday when Gareth, Asha, and Daniel are baptised at St James in our morning service.

Later that day they will be confirmed by Bishop Karowei  at St Mary Magdalen Church in Bermondsey Street, alongside other candidates from the Bermondsey Deanery churches.

Yesterday we met for the final preparations for the big day, which will include the baptism of Asha's son, Daniel's twins, and two other children.

The youngsters will all be baptised at the font, but the 'grown ups' will be baptised by immersion in a pool in the Churchyard with the congregation gathering round to watch - and then we will all join in singing  'To God be the glory, great things he hath done' as we conclude our service.
