Baptisms
Baptism (sometimes called a Christening)
Whether you have a brand new member of your family or children who are a little older now – we’d love to discuss with you having a service of thanksgiving or a baptism service for them. Normally you would live near us or be part of our church family.
There are 2 options:
A service of thanksgiving – where we give thanks for the birth of your child and pray for them and for parents and family. This is often appropriate if you’re unsure about where you stand yourself in relation to the Christian faith. Baptism could follow later and we would welcome questions and would want to support you.
A service of baptism or Christening – Here parents are asked to declare their agreement with the Christian faith, that they themselves seek to follow Jesus Christ and that they will do all they can to pray for their child and bring them into the life of the church.
You don’t have to have made up your mind at this stage!
