"Baptism Sunday" events started a few years ago in a lot of churches I know. The church I attend adopted the practice a couple years ago and I hate it.
The reason we've been given is so that the person being baptized can have their family and friends there to witness the baptism.
If a person wants to be baptized, they should be baptized right then. Obviously, there are circumstances in which it may not be possible; ie, a minor whose parents do not attend church.
