Christenings and Thanksgiving Services for a Baby
Christening or Baptism marks the beginning of a wonderful journey with God, parents, godparents, family and friends.
A Thanksgiving service is a special service that differs from a christening. It is a service to give thanks to God, with friends and family, asking for God’s blessing and praying for your baby. For more information, you can talk to the Rector, Kina Robertshaw or complete the below.

Confirmation
Confirmation is a special church service in which a person confirms the promises that were made when they were baptized. If you were baptized at a christening when you were a child, your parents and godparents made these promises on your behalf. As a young person or adult, you may be ready to affirm these promises for yourself and commit your life to following Jesus Christ. At a confirmation service, you make these promises for yourself. Your friends and family, as well as the congregation, will be there to promise to support and pray for you.
The bishop will lay their hands on your head and ask God’s Holy Spirit to give you the strength and commitment to live God’s way for the rest of your life. You can find out much more information about confirmation on the Church of England website.
