Today at Messy Church Summer Camp in Western Australia, people of all ages gathered at the ocean edge to celebrate the Baptism of Sharon. She was surrounded by people who have been Baptised at Messy Church Summer Camp over the last few years. Such a blessing to have children and young people sharing in this special moment in Sharon's life and faith journey. The cake and coffee afterwards was a brilliant time of sharing too
