Play time

Oct 8th
The weather is still bad – so we decided on a play time for the children rather than a walk. The two families came round to our house – and we spent time supporting each other. We discussed baptism, and whether children should be baptised – and what about baptism for children if the parents do not believe in God? Should parents baptise their children to get a greater chance of their child being offered a place at a church school? We didn’t have any answers, but it did focus our thoughts on the role of sacraments in Church.

Although we are enjoying meeting together – it still does not seem like a church – I am pushing this agenda, not the others – and I am not sure how to take this forward. Not all the group are so keen on the walks – especially in the rain that is almost daily at the moment. Meeting at home will not let us meet new people – but then the rain would probable stop that anyway. A bit disillusioned about walking church….
