Jesus said “go and be
baptised”.
That’s exactly what we do here at
Trinity. When Jesus comes into your life, it is natural to want
to follow him. He was baptised in the river Jordan by John the
Baptist.
Baptise means to ‘immerse’ and
at Trinity beneath the stage we have a full immersion pool just
for that purpose.
Prior to the ceremony itself, those about
to be baptised will tell their personal story of how Jesus has
come into their lives and how he has been changing them from
within by his Holy Spirit.
The Baptismal pool symbolises the grave
and we enter the pool carrying with us all of our old thoughts
and ways. Before all present we commit our lives to Jesus and
as we are immersed below the surface of the water we die to the
past . As we reemerge we are renewed and resurrected as Jesus
was when he died on the cross and then rose again. Halleluiah!
As we stand in the warm water dripping
happily we are prayed over and the worship team play our own
choice of song and everyone sings.
You can probably imagine these services
are often tearful and always joyful occasions and friends and
family are usually powerfully moved.
