Infant and child Baptisms

During a christening your child will be baptised with water. This is the beginning of a journey of faith for your child and is a special day for your family and friends to celebrate with you.

It is normal practice at St. Cuthbert’s to hold a christening service following our regular Sunday worship. This means that the whole service is dedicated to your child and your family and friends. There will always be some members of our church who attend christenings so that your child is welcomed into our church family.

Arrangements can be made if you would like your child’s christening to take place during a service of Holy Communion.

And when Jesus had been baptized, just as he came up from the water, suddenly the heavens were opened to him and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, the Beloved with whom I am well pleased.”

Matthew 3:16-17
