BAPTISMAL FONT
The Font is placed at the front of the Church, rather than at the entrance, or
the side, to indicate that in the Sacrament of Baptism, all the congregation participate, not
merely the parents and the minister, for with us the congregation promises to assist the parents
in bringing up their children in the nurture and in the admonition of the Lord.
The lid of the Baptismal Font is surmounted by a Little Lamb. Here
we are reminded of the Love of God for little children and the
scriptural reference is in Isaiah 40: verse 11, "He shall lead His
flock like a shepherd, He shall gather the lambs with His arm and
carry them in His bosom."
