New Program: Congregational Baptismal Sponsors
In order to maintain an ongoing relationship with the newly baptized and their families we are beginning a new program which would provide a sponsor from the congregation for them for a year.
- The duties of the sponsor would be as follows:
- Be present for the baptism
- Offer to be a contact point for church related information or advice for a year
- Occasionally contact the family of the child or the adult baptized — and invite them to events that might interest them
- Send cards as appropriate e.g. Christmas, birthday, the baptismal anniversary
The sponsorship would last for a period of one year and would conclude when the family receives a prayer book during worship during the month of the one – year anniversary. Often a sponsor could be a member of the church who is already acquainted with the newly baptized; however, for the families who have no connection to the congregation, we are asking for volunteers to be sponsors.
If you are interested in being a sponsor, please contact the church office.
