Baptisms (Christenings)
A Baptism service celebrates the arrival of a new member of God’s family, and we extend a warm welcome to those who seek God’s blessing on their child and for themselves for the years ahead.
The Church can include a Baptism in its regular Sunday morning service at 10.30am.
If you are interested or want to know more, please do contact the Vicar who will be delighted to talk further.
