There’s real joy in writing the new Christian’s name in their own shell as a permanent reminder of the momentous day. Perfect timing for tomorrow!

Today, at St Mary Magdalene Twyning, we remembered our baptism in Christ recalling the day when “the Uncreated of his own will accepted the laying on of hands from his own creature.” #BaptismOfChrist @churchofengland.org

When Jesus is baptised the Holy Spirit descends on him, and on all who will be adopted in him by their own baptism; the Father looks on them, in Jesus, and sees his beloved Son with whom he is well pleased. Parish Mass #BaptismofChrist 11am @colindalechurch.bsky.social, all welcome!
