The Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation

Baptism

Many members of our church family become involved at St Anne`s through the baptism of their child. Baptisms take place within the main Sunday service, and the preparation for this can include involvement with the life of our Sunday School. For us, infant baptism, allows for an emphasis of the grace of God on the child who is then supported by parents and godparents and the church, in a Christian upbringing leading to Confirmation, when the individual then assumes more responsibility for this for themselves.

Confirmation

Our older young people – and sometimes adults – are prepared for Confirmation in classes designed to address both the overall issues of Christian teaching and catechism, together with the particular issues of any one group or person. In Confirmation we see our young people assuming for themselves more responsibility within their faith journey.
