Module 1: Baptismal Beginnings - A Rally Day/Baptism
Program
Baptismal Beginnings is an interactive program for children, youth and adults. It is designed to stir us to deeper discipleship as we explore Baptism as the entry into discipleship. It urges us to consider Baptism as more than an “enter on cue” event, as it nurtures our sense of identity and lifelong belonging to God’s family. Baptismal Beginnings provides a variety of large and small group activities to help people of all ages affirm their baptism every day as they move to enhance the faith habits or practices highlighted in the Call to Discipleship in their lives.
