Due to the current situation, Baptisms and Weddings are no longer available at this time. We are currently taking bookings from August 2020 onwards. Please contact us in the event of an emergency before this date.
Funerals will continue to be offered at graveside or at crematoria only, with the maximum of 10 people present.
Baptism
What is Holy Baptism?
Baptism is a personal and public identification with Jesus Christ.
1. It means we have turned from our old lives to new life in Jesus.
2. It means we believe in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ.
3. It means we join a new family; the family of God.
How do I arrange a Baptism?
· Surgeries are held in St. Martin’s on the last Thursday of each month from 5.30pm to 6.30pm to allow you to meet with the team and book your Baptism.
· You will then be invited to attend a Baptism workshop which will run through the elements of the
service so you know what to expect on the day.
This is family orientated with activities for children to join in.
