Baptism is a significant milestone in a child's life and it is important that they understand as much as possible about the liturgy, symbolism and structure of the Baptism service. However, all the best teachers would agree that children learn best when they are having fun and being creative! That's why we have brought out some great new resources for children's baptism.

My Baptism Book: A Child's Guide to Baptism is written by Diana Murrie, the National Children's Officer for the Church of England. It brings the baptism service to life! Combining intriguing questions and reflection, the book will help children to understand this important milestone in their lives. It provides inspiring ideas for adults and children to share and communicate about baptism and is suitable for use in churches and schools or at parent and toddler groups, nursuries and play groups. This beautifully illustrated book is a unique and personal reminder of a child's baptism, and is ideal for children aged 3+.

My Baptism Book is available as a hardback edition, paperback edition and also in packs of 6 (paperbacks).

And now we have also brought out Baptism in a Box! The Baptism Cube is a unique and exciting resource to help young children to engage with the key messages of the Baptism service. Its fantastically clever design will inspire and amaze everyone who opens it! Diana Murrie, the Archbishop's Officer for Evangelism among Children says:

'Baptism is a wonderful opportunity for celebration by children, family and friends. The Baptism Cube is a fun way to explain the service clearly, so that everyone, young or old, can feel included.'

Additional Resources for Children

The clear language and absorbing images of My Communion Book and The Communion Cube will help children to understand the liturgy, symbolism and structure of the Holy Communion service. The Lord's Prayer Cube is a very creative way to encourage young children to learn one of the key prayers of the Christian faith.

Additional resources for godparents, parents and clergy

If you have questions about baptism or about becoming a godparent, you may be interested in these attractive full colour 4 page leaflets on Your Child's Baptism in the Church of England and Becoming a Godparent in the Church of England. These explain what happens during a Baptism service, and answer some general questions about baptism and the role of a godparent. These leaflets come in packs of 20.

For the first time, the complete liturgy for Christian initiation has now been published in one volume: Common Worship: Christian Initiation. The services provide a liturgical structure for the journey to and beyond baptism and confirmation.
