Life events - Christenings, Weddings and Funerals
The celebration of life is at the heart of the Christian faith. Whether there is sorrow or joy, new life or the end of this life, we have ways of honouring the moment.
Baptism (christening)
Baptism is the moment when the Christian journey begins for adult or child. We baptise on Sunday mornings with the support and prayers of the Church community as we celebrate the new life baptism brings. A copy of our baptism policy can be found here Baptism
Admission to Holy Communion and Confirmation
Children are 8 or 9 years are invited each year to attend Admission to Holy Communion Classes each Lent, and children are admitted on Easter Day. We also hold an annual service of confirmation within the Benefice. A copy of the policy document can be viewed here. Communion and Confirmation
Weddings and Services of Thanksgiving and Dedication after Civil Ceremonies
The love of two people for each other is a mirror of the love God has for us. We celebrate all committed relationship and we believe that a blessing of faithful relationships should be open to all people, gay, lesbian and straight. Whether you are seeking a Service of Thanksgiving and Dedication after a Civil Marriage or Civil Partnership or a Marriage in our churches we would be pleased to hear from you. A copy of our marriage policy can be found here, and our policy on the ‘Services of Thanksgiving and Dedication after Civil Ceremonies’ can be found here.
Funerals
We believe that death is the start of new life with God. We can help to prepare a service that says what you need to say and honours the person who has died. A copy of our policy and information document can be found here. Funerals
