To Book a Baptism or Thanksgiving Service
If you are interested in a baptism then its a
really good idea to visit church at least 2 or 3 times as a part of your
enquiry process. This is because Baptism is largely about entry
into your local church
- and you wouldn't want to join any other organisation without visiting it beforehand!
At each church we have a couple of people who
are trained so as to be able to answer most of the questions you might
want to ask. They are named below and when you visit do ask for
them - they will be delighted to greet you.
In
St Andrews, these are Sally
or Trudy
In
St Mary's these are Dawn or
Christine
In
Holy Trinity these are Terris, Hazel,
Costas or Betty
Having visited church, or before if you wish,
you are then invited to attend one of our Information Evenings which are
held on the 2nd Tuesday in each month (excluding August and December)
at 7:00pm.
|
Information evenings - every month These are run
on the second Tuesday of every month (excepting August and December) and are designed to help you to be
ready to book your Baptism or Thanksgiving Service.
At the Information Evening you will meet other
families who are also asking about Christening and with the help of
videos and other media we shall explain the difference between Baptism
and Thanksgiving.
By the end of the hour, we ask you to reflect on
what is best for you and your child before visiting Church to book the
date.
Once you have done this, then the clergy who
will be Baptising your child, or leading the service of Thanksgiving,
will want to meet with you and will be touch by phone.
The Information Evenings are held at Holy
Trinity Church, Park House Road, Low Moor and start at 7:00pm (finish by
8:00pm). DO JUST COME ALONG although if you are able to let us know
you are coming it is helpful! Phone parish office 01274 606 377 |
