Fifth Grade Celebration of Baptism
Sunday, January 8 – 9:45 AM
Baptism marks the beginning of our faith journey – a journey that will last a lifetime. On Sunday, January 8, our fifth graders will have a special time to remember and reflect on their baptism and look forward to their middle school years when they will have the opportunity to participate in our confirmation program. This program helps to equip them for a life of discipleship and culminates with the Affirmation of Baptism at the end of eighth grade, where each child affirms the vows made by their parents at baptism.
On January 8, parents are invited to join their fifth grade student and are asked to bring items of significance from their child’s baptism to share with the Sunday School students. These items can be baptismal candles, the cloth used to wipe the baby’s head, photos, baptismal gowns or outfits, or any other special remembrance of that special day. We hope and pray that this event will serve as a bridge to your child’s confirmation years.
