Year 1 Church Visit

On Tuesday, Year 1 went to visit Lordshill Church to learn about why water is 'precious' to Chrisitans and how it is used in Baptism. We were lucky enough to see baby Bella, the doll, being Baptised and to learn about how the special water is blessed and then put into the font on the altar. We then put a little bit of water onto Bella's head and helped to perform a real Baptism! We also had a look at a gown that a baby may wear during their baptism and also the candle that the church gives each baby to keep. We then listened to the story of how Jesus was Baptised by John the Baptist in the River Jordan!
