Baptism Dress Code
Many people opt to wear a dark colored t-shirt and shorts. Of course, it’s important to remember that you are going to be getting wet, so don’t forget to wear appropriate undergarments. You don’t want to be overly exposed and turn your baptism into an embarrassing moment.
Avoid Wearing White
That way, you won’t have to worry about anything inappropriate happening. White becomes see-through when it is wet. Darker colors are a better choice.
Bring a Change of Clothes
It may sound obvious, but don’t forget to include a change of clothes. You probably don’t want to be wet and cold for the remainder of the service, so bring something you can change into.
Don’t Forget a Towel
Just as important as the change of clothes is to bring a towel.
______________________________________
If your child wishes to be baptized and is in 6th – 8th grade the parents must call Pastor AJ Romero, NBYOUTH Pastor, prior to the baptism date at (505)883-9079.
• Parents’ commitment
Set up an appointment with Pastor AJ, you, and your child prior to the date of our baptismal service or you will be asked to wait until the next baptismal service the following month. This appointment is to make certain that your child is old enough to understand the significance of receiving Christ and be ready to make a public declaration of their faith and verbalize their testimony.

HOW SPONSORSHIP HELPS
Your $39 monthly gift will combine with other sponsors’ gifts to show God’s love, helping kids and families get sustainable access to life’s basics. Then you’ll get regular updates on their progress. Research proves that kids benefit from sponsorship programs. Here are just a few ways: More children reading, healthier families, kids in school, better job opportunities, stronger communities, and hope for their future.
YOUR NAME AND PHOTO WILL BE SENT TO THEIR COMMUNITY IN ZAMBIA, AFRICA where Pastors Richard Mansfield, Anthony Romero, and Thomas Maes are helping to prepare a time for kids to choose their sponsors. World Vision will keep you updated about the choosing process via email!
THEN A CHILD WILL CHOOSE YOU
A child in need will see photos of people waiting to be chosen and one special child will choose your photo. Everyone who signs up is chosen.
THEN YOU’LL FIND OUT WHO CHOSE YOU
You’ll soon get a photo of your new sponsored child holding YOUR photo, plus a letter about why you were chosen. You can strengthen the connection by writing back through the World Vision app or sending a letter.
MEN: BRING A SIDE DISH
KIDS ARE WELCOME!
What is Child Dedication?
Children that are 12 years of age or younger are dedicated to the Lord. In the Bible, child dedication is a ceremony where parents commit to raising their child in faith and acknowledge God as a part of their family:
• Parents’ commitment
-Must register a child either on Church App: NBCABQ or
call the church office: (505)883-9079.
-Child’s parents must attend a Child Dedication Class prior
to the ceremony.
-Parents promise to raise their child in a godly way,
according to God’s Word, and not their own. They also
commit to praying for their child, setting a good example.
• Scriptural basis for Dedicating Children
“Let the little children come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these” Mark 10:14 NIV.
• Child Dedication is modeled throughout the Bible:
-The Israelites brought their 8-day-old children to the priest for blessing.
-Hannah brought her long-awaited son, Samuel, to the
priest to dedicate him to the Lord.
-Mary and Joseph brought baby Jesus to the temple for
dedication.
Registration is open for high school, college and university graduates,
and vocational graduates (associate's degree) only
