Baptisms and christenings
Welcoming babies, children and adults into the church family.
We hold baptisms for babies, children and adults throughout the year, usually as part of a regular Sunday service so the whole congregation can share in the occasion. Some families prefer a smaller, separate service and we are happy to arrange that too.
Before the day itself we meet with parents and godparents to talk through what the service involves and what is expected of them. There is no set format for these conversations and questions are always welcome, however basic they might seem.
We keep a record of every baptism in the parish register and families are welcome to visit the church at any time afterwards to see the entry or take photographs near the font.
