All Saints School News
The children from the reception and nursery class recently visited All Saints Church with Mrs Nadin and Mrs Goodwin. The purpose of the visit was to familiarise the children with the idea of baptism. Dominic met them all and talked about the ceremony and they acted out a baptism for one of our new dolls, now christened formally Lucy May. God parents were chosen and their roles explained.
It was therefore very interesting to read in the national press that now only 1 in 6 children are baptised. The Church of England has launched a campaign to make baptisms more popular. Figures show that the popularity of christenings remains high in the countryside, in rural dioceses. Well, I can report that baptism is very much in the minds of our youngest children at All Saints. Of course Dominic explained that adults can also be baptised at any time in their lives but that begged the question of how he would be able to lift them up to the font!
