We do Baptisms early in the service and so let your guests know not to come late.
C3 Baptism
Posted 10/10/24
Information I need:
A picture (portrait) of the person being baptized that you don’t mind putting up on the screen. We are streaming this service online as well, so please invite your families to attend in person or online.
The name of the person being baptized as you would like it to appear on screen.
Some quotes explaining why you/they want to be baptized. These will also go on the screens too. Answers can be simple or you can tell a story. I don’t mind long quotes although I may need to edit them just to make sure everything fits. Some possible starter questions for quotes would be: “How has Jesus changed your life?”, “Why do you want to be baptized, or “What does your faith mean to you?”
What you need to know:
We do Baptisms early in the service and so let your guests know not to come late.
Please come at least 15 minutes early (9:45am) so I can show you around. If you don’t see me, go to the Welcome desk and ask them for help.
You need to bring a bathing suit, but we will provide a dark over shirt that says “Baptism”
We do have towels (but it’s easier if you bring your own).
We will use the bathrooms in the back of the church for changing areas. If you are going to leave your clothes in those areas, please do not bring valuables.
We will seat the baptism candidates in order in the front row for ease of access. After the baptism, feel free to sit with your family or wherever you would like.
You are encouraged to take pictures and videos of this event so that you can share this moment with others. We will probably do the same and share it on our C3 Social Media pages.
If you have any information you need to get in please email me TDodd@C3Wheeling.org or text me 304-281-2903. If you have any additional questions or would like to talk more about baptism, please reach out by text or email.
Thank you for sharing this moment with us,
Ted Dodd
Pastor at C3
