BAPTISM COURSE - October 2018

Corpus Christi will be running a BAPTISM COURSE in October 2018 from Sunday 7th October after the 09h00 service for the 4 weekends of that month (7th, 14th, 21st & 28th). In these 4 weeks, we cover 6 sessions of up to 90 minutes each, covering 2 sessions for each of the middle 2 Sundays. For ALL details, please navigate to HERE, or to the Downloads webpage and then look for the link to the BAPTISM COURSE NOTES. The notes for "Parents" are relevant to those parents undergoing Baptism Course for their children (or adults undergoing baptism). Please review the requirements for BAPTISM carefully. Parents must be parishioners of the church and "in good standing" in that they attend regularly and are known to the rector. Documentation for registering for the course & the Parent Declaration document are both important. Please complete these.
