Does your church celebrate baptismal birthdays?

My previous church used to acknowledge it and I personally don't have my baptismal record to know the exact date I was baptized.

No, I don't think I've ever been associated with a church of any denomination which did what you described. Fortunately, I know the date in my own case, but that's only because I inherited my parents' records when they passed away.

Our church recognizes special events for that week... birthday, baptism and wedding anniversaries. And there's a couple of ladies who send cards to the same.

It's EASY for me to remember the date of my baptism.... it's the same as the date of my birth. I was baptized about one minute after I was born.

That's not something I've ever come across.

I was christened as a child but I have no idea what date, and to be honest I don't really care. I was baptised by full immersion as an adult although it was a lot of years ago and I don't remember the date of that either.
