On Sunday April 29th, under the bright spring sunshine, James, Edward and Matthew Hingley were baptised by full immersion during the main morning worship.
What is baptism? Baptism marks the beginning of a journey with God which continues for the rest of our lives. In baptism we celebrate what God has done for us in Christ, making serious promises and declaring our Christian faith. Baptism is the first step in the Christian journey. Here are some photos of this wonderful event.
St Martin's doesn't have a full size baptistry in the church, so for practical reasons the baptism took place outside.
Although the sun was shining, the water was cold! Here James prepares for his baptism.
Next came the turn of Edward
And finally the youngest of the three brothers, Matthew, is baptised.
Congratulations to James, Edward and Matthew, we pray that they will continue to grow in their Christian faith.
