Christ the King offers a class for parents preparing to have their child baptized. Sponsors are also welcome and encouraged to attend. In the class, parents will learn about 1) the promises made to their child in the sacrament of baptism, 2) the promises they make on behalf of their child, and 3) ways in which they can help their child understand what it means to be a child of God. The classes will generally be held the 3rd Sunday of every other month (beginning in September) from 10:30 to 11:30am in the Fireside Room, and be taught by one of the pastors. In addition to learning more about the importance of the Sacrament of Baptism, it will also be an opportunity to meet other families and learn about some of the ministries offered to families with young children. The class can be taken anytime either before or after the birth of the baby, and will ideally be completed before the baptism itself.  More information will be provided when an inquiry is made to schedule a baptism.  We look forward to being with you in this faith and fellowship opportunity.

This class is patterned after an ECFE format, so there will be free play at different stations and circle time for story and song.  Each class also either follows or precedes worship and a meal. Each date, we will meet in the Rainbow Room: 5:00pm on Wednesdays and 10:45am on Sundays for a 30-45 minute session of family time where you and your child can spend time playing and learning; and each session will be different so you can choose to come to one, two or all! 

There is no cost or registration necessary. If you need childcare for other children, the nursery is available. Our goal is to offer time for fun and fellowship for the parents too.  We encourage parents to get to know one another while they play together with their kids. For this reason, we ask this time together be “device free”. For any additional questions, please contact Wendy. Hope you can join us!
