As mentioned last week, Emily Grace, second youngest regular member of S. Barnabas’ congregation (the youngest dwells in my wife’s womb) was baptised into the family of God this morning much to the delight of the whole congregation. Rather co-incidently, whilst her brother Joseph’s name appears next to Jemima’s in the baptism register, it now looks increasingly likely that Emily’s will also be next to a Tomlinson as there are, currently, no baptisms planned until the new year.
So please pray for Emily Grace, who was a very good girl this morning as she received the gift of God’s Holy Spirit. And thank you to Nicola and Duncan (mummy and daddy) for supplying a delicious cake for us to share in the hall afterwards. It was another very happy morning at S. Barnabas’ church as we rejoiced together as a family.
As Emily’s grandmother I just wanted to say a big ‘thank you’ to everyone for making it a wonderful morning. As usual the congregation were welcoming to visitors, the music was excellent and the service very special. Emily is certainly lucky to be starting her Christian journey with such a caring extended family.
What a lovely comment from lovely Gina!
