ON June 30 2019, we decided to get baptised in St Rollox church in front of our community, friends and family. We decided to get baptised because we as the children of God had been wanting to get around to it for years but we never felt quite ready until then. We wanted to follow in God’s steps, we wanted to be cleansed and have a new beginning while finally becoming full Christians.
While preparing for the baptism we had lessons with [the Rev] Jane [Howitt] for four weeks every Sunday after church. During the lessons she taught us about what it means to be a Christian and what would be expected from us as children of Christ.
We would read the bible, we would answer questions on the passages we had just read through and we would reflect on what the lesson had taught us about God and Jesus.
