Choosing, planning and going to a Christening? . . . Begin Here
Christening (sometimes called Baptism) takes place most regularly on the second Sunday of the month at a midday service and we hold the service in one of our two church buildings. It is also possible to hold a Christening as part of one of our regular services. Christening is a welcoming of new members in to the Christian faith, often (but not always) as small children, where their parents and godparents will speak for them and make promises on their behalf. Christenings are celebratory occasions where there is a sense of meeting God in an atmosphere of thanks. There may be several families gathered together, and we can baptise candidates from more than one family at the Christening service. Our parish has a team who run a preparation evening prior to the service at which initial questions are dealt with and informal discussion is held.
