Baptism Celebration

Congratulations to Allana Page who was baptised at St. Mark's United Reformed Church on Sunday 20th April! There's a new beginning for Allana and her family as they continue to settle into life in Woodhouse Park and are now part of a worldwide family - the church. At St. Mark's we believe in sharing life together and making a difference in the communities we're part of by expressing our Christian faith in relevant ways. At baptism we mark the beginning of the journey of sharing our faith in Jesus Christ with Allana and we're looking forward to learning from her about what matters to her and her family too.
Many thanks to all her family and friends who are supporting her with love and prayers and by example so that she will come to make her own Confirmation of Christian faith. Blessings to all 8 of Allana's Godparents who travelled from across the UK to be with her on her unique and special occasion. It was lovely to have so many people sign Allana's giant canvas Baptism Card - a new tradition at St. Marks for all our baptisms - it's now filled with blessings, hopes, prayers and names of many who were at the celebration.
We look forward to welcoming guests and family and friends with Allana when you are in the area again in the future and to seeing Allana and Ben again at the monthly messychurch soon.
