Special services

A  Marriage Service in Church  offers the opportunity for  a real family and community celebration. We work hard at  to try to ensure that you have  the day and ceremony you want. 

Please contact our vicar, Father Tom Birch on 01661 853254 or revdtombirch@gmail.com

Often we call Baptism  “Christening”. The word  Christening links with “Christ” - it means “anointed” . Being christened or baptised is about becominglike Jesus: someone with love, forgiveness, hope, joy. God’s Holy Spirit promises to help us be like that for ourselves, our families and for other people. In Jesus God defeats evil and helps us work to build a community of love and care for all the world. We call that community the Church.

We seek to serve everyone in the parish regardless of where you are on the “faith spectrum”. Our priest will visit you at least once in your home and ensure that the Service is as you wish it to be. Many find it helpful to have everything at Church and for the Vicar to accompany the departed to the crematorium or cemetery so that all can meet straight away  to share memories and offer support to the bereaved. Another helpful service can be for your loved departed to be receieved into Church the evening before. This  allows the immediate family a time of  private  reflection and prayer, unrestricted by time.
