Baptisms
Baptism (or christening) marks both the beginning of the journey of faith and also joining the Church family. This can be undertaken at any age. If you are interested in being baptised or having your child baptised. One of the clergy will be very pleased to meet with you to discuss what is involved.
Weddings
We are delighted that you are exploring the possibility of getting married in one of churches. We would love to hear about your plans and help you with them in any way we can.
The information booklet, for couples intending to marry or to have a service of blessing at our churches, includes everything you will need to know, from legal requirements to your options for music, hymns and readings, and the forms to fill in. The booklet includes a booking form.
There is also lots of information and great tips on planning your church wedding at the Church of England’s weddings website.
Funerals
When someone you love dies you suddenly have a lot of decisions to make and this can be very hard on top of the emotional challenges of this time.
It helps if a loved one has left his or her wishes about the funeral but this isn’t often the case and so for most people there are decisions to be made about what kind of funeral would be most fitting, where it should be, what will be sung and said.
Your first point of contact may be with the Funeral Directors and they will help you with all the arrangements. If you have already decided that you wish the service to be at one of our Churches the funeral director will contact us to fix the date. One of the clergy will then arrange to meet with you to discuss the service.
Whether you have the service in one of our Churches or at the crematorium we are here to support you in your time of loss. Many churches are open during the day if you wish to come and pray and light a candle. And please do not hesitate to contact one of the clergy if you need further support and prayer.
Outreach communion
Some members of our parish are unable to attend church due to sickness or age; in this event, there is a small team of people who celebrate communion with them at their homes.
Holy Communion is regularly taken to local care homes Rush Court and Sotwell Hill House.
