Baptisms 

You are very welcome to bring your baby or child to be baptised in any of our 3 churches, St Mary’s, St John’s or Church of the Good Shepherd.
(Adults can be baptised too!)

If the baptism is being held especially for you rather than as part of a main service, please do ask everybody to turn up at least 10 minutes before it’s due to begin. Yours may not be the only event at the church that day and the vicar will need to keep to schedule.

Everyone will gather around the font, with the parents and godparents at the front. A service sheet will be handed out with the words the godparents need to say usually printed in bold. The whole christening should only take 20-30 minutes.

Remember that even in summer churches can be pretty cold, so make sure your baby is warmly dressed.
