Welcome to Leah Sharrock, whose baptism was held at church this morning. What a happy, worshipful event. And SPLOSH (our group for children and young people) went really well afterwards - thank you to all involved (especially Felix our technician). We discovered from Psalm 8 that God knows the name of each star and knows and values every human being in the world, too.
The thing that gave me most pleasure was a guest who'd last been in church at the baptism of Leah's big sister Emily saying she could see how much the church had come on since and how much more welcoming it felt. Alleluia.
