Thank you
-
for your interest in Baptism. The requirements are not too hard and are chosen
so that you can come to the Baptism service with confidence and hope for your
child's Christian beginnings.
We ask that you -
Worship with us for three or more occasions in the months leading to the
Baptism. Service times are at 10.30 am on Sundays. We have a Sunday
Club for children and a children's area in the Church.
Read through the leaflets and discuss them together and with the Vicar.
Come with the godparents ? if available ? to a rehearsal for the service in
the week prior to the Baptism.
Complete the application form and make a time with the Vicar for the rehearsal
and the date of the Baptism. Baptisms take place on the fourth Sunday of each
month at 12.00 noon.
St. Andrew's
- is part of the worldwide Communion of Anglican Churches.
Anglican Churches hold to the faith of the ancient Church, are led by Bishops,
practice the sacraments of Holy Baptism and the Eucharist, and hold the Holy
Scriptures as their guide for faith and life
- is a pilgrim people i.e. we believe life is a journey which is marked by
various rites of passage, like Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation, Marriage.
Baptism is the main and first way we are Initiated (or Introduced) into the Way
of Jesus Christ. Every baptised person needs to grow in their trust in God and
so release the gifts of God given in baptism. Baptism classes are arranged, as
necessary, for parents and Godparents.
