My sister in law Jacquie ( only 59) has been type 1 diabetic her whole life. After chemo for breast cancer last year and the aftercare medications she has hard a hard time keeping her sugars in check Long story short she has had 3 emergency surgeries in the last 2 weeks resulting in an amputation just above her knee, today we were told the surgery was not successful and she will potentially have another surgery on Thursday, if this one doesn’t work they have said that there is nothing more they can do. John is looking at flights as I write but we would appreciate Gods protection over Jacquie and the medical team. Also comfort for the whole family. Jacquie is not a follower of Jesus so Id also like prayer that she will turn to God through this time and that she would feel his comfort, love and presence

What is Baptism?

Baptism is an important and meaningful step in our journey of faith. It’s a ceremony that publicly celebrates the forgiveness and new life found in Jesus, and our commitment to him and the church. Jesus invites anyone who has put their faith and trust in Him to express their commitment through baptism.

WANT TO GET BAPTISED?

Getting Baptised

To prepare for baptism, we’ve put together a brief reflection and information guide. Chew on it. Digest it slowly and deliberately with your Life Group or Ministry Leader, or a Christian mentor or friend to help you process your spiritual journey.

Once you’ve worked through these materials, please email us at baptism@southridgechurch.ca. We’ll be in touch to set up a time to sit down and chat about this important step in your journey of faith.
