Bemerton Parish – Loving God and Loving our Neighbour

It’s really exciting that you want to be baptised (or christened – it means the same thing), or you want it for your child.

If you would like to get your child baptised please make contact with Rev’d Kevin.  Following Christ is something we do individually in a way that calls us into being a caring community. It would be lovely if you can come along to a church service so you can meet us when we are together to give thanks to God for the good things in our lives and to ask for help for the difficult situations we may be facing. We are an inclusive church which means we aim to offer a warm welcome to everybody regardless of age, gender, sexuality, ethnicity or dis/ability. If you would like to speak to somebody before attending a service you can contact Rev’d Kevin for an informal conversation.

Do you feel that now is the right time to make a pubic declaration of your faith? Are you keen to nurture your child to develop a relationship with the God Jesus reveals to us? Are you ready to give thanks to God for the gift of your child?

If the answer to any of the above questions is “yes” please contact Rev Kevin to arrange a time to meet to discuss and plan the Baptism. You can choose which day you would like to have the Christening/Baptism and whether to have it in the main service or as a separate service. Whenever you have the Baptism it is important to realise it is a public service which means all are welcome to attend and not restricted to invite only.

As we are part of the Church of England, we are only supposed to baptise people who live in our parish.
