Baptisms (/Christenings of infants/children)

We offer infant baptism services to families who live in the village. A baptism service can only be offered at 3pm on the first Sunday of the given month and requires you to attend a service of worship at St Mary's following this.

Thanksgiving for the gift of a child [draft leaflet]
We also offer services of thanksgiving and blessing as an alternative to baptism, for those families who feel the commitment of baptism is not something they feel able to make. A thanksgiving can be arranged on Sundays other than the first of the given month at 12.30pm, after the morning service. There is no requirement to attend church with a thanksgiving service and we can offer thanksgiving services to those who do not live in the village.

The main difference between the Baptism and Thanksgiving services is that:
  • At a baptism you are making your child a member of the Christian faith and church, they are beginning their life as a Christian. The symbol that is used is water, poured over your child's head.
  • In thanksgiving you are simply asking for God's blessing on your child and thanking God for them. No water is used at this service.
