Baptism
'Baptism marks the beginning of a journey with God which continues for the rest of our lives, the first step in response to God's love.'
Jesus was baptised in the river Jordan by John and this marked the beginning of his earthly ministry' (Mark 1:9-11). Near the end of Jesus' earthly ministry he commanded his disciples to 'Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit'. (Matthew 28:18). For over two thousand years Jesus' followers have begun their Christian lives with the sacrament of baptism. The water of baptism is a visible sign of the grace which God conveys in the sacrament. God's gift in baptism is new birth in Christ, a new direction in life as God's child, and a calling to be a lifelong, faithful disciple of Christ.
