Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals

Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals are important milestones in our lives, and these are times when many people feel that they would like to mark the occasion with a Church ceremony of some kind. 

We would be delighted to discuss your plans with you and see how we might help. Please contact our Church Secretary via the Contact us page.

BAPTISMS

Baptism is a sacrament by which children (and people of all ages) are welcomed in the care and family of the Church, a sign of God’s love in Christ.

Information is also available in a booklet available from the United Reformed Church “What we believe about Baptism”- view here.
