Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals
We conduct many Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals at the Parish Church and see this as being a vital ministry to many at major points in their life. Baptisms are exciting and we usually celebrate special Baptism services for families at mid day on some Sundays. Weddings are usually booked a long way in advance, and we enjoy helping to prepare couples for both their wedding day and their married life together. Funerals are naturally close to the time of death and we give much time to helping people come to terms with their bereavement.
In all these services there are some guiding principles. For example, Baptisms have some Ecclesiastical obligations to fulfil, Weddings take place according to the law of the land, and Funerals may have some local obligations to fulfil.
In any circumstance please begin by calling Rev Tim Stacey on 01494 872097.
