Godparent Card

 A pack of 10 Godparent cards without envelopes.

Connecting with Godparents is a key opportunity to build wide connections with families, so our Godparent card is designed to rejoice with the Godparents in their new role, and encourage them to consider practical ways in which they might uphold the spiritual responsibility they have taken on. It also includes Bible verses as we recognise not everyone who takes on this role will be familiar with God’s word.

As a godparent, you have the joy and responsibility of supporting your godchild in their Christian faith. Walk alongside them as they journey, question, and learn about God’s love. Pray for them regularly, and let your own life be an example of Christian values – showing kindness and compassion, and standing against injustice.

You are not expected to have all the answers! Your role is to help your godchild explore and grow in their faith – by going to church together, reading the Bible, and learning to pray. If they ask something you don’t know, be honest: “I do not know, but we can find out together.” Ask trusted friends, church leaders, and God for guidance. In doing this, you will help them learn to deal with the tough questions of life.

Baptism is only the beginning of their journey with God. It is a response to God’s love for them and for you, as you make promises as their godparent and help them to declare their faith. In the years ahead, you will continue to support them as they grow and, in time, as they move towards confirmation.

Being a godparent is a special and important role. We pray that you will be richly blessed and continue to grow in your own faith as you support your godchild from this day forward.
