Baptisms & Dedications/Thanksgivings
Dozens of people are baptised (or “Christened”) at St Michael’s every year, either as infants or when they are old enough to choose to be baptised for themselves. Some people book the church for their own family baptism service; others choose to be baptised during one of our regular weekly services.
We also offer an alternative called a service of Thanksgiving (sometimes called a Dedication) We can generally offer both these types of service at 12.30 on Sunday in St Michael’s Church, or during one of our services or celebrations.

Confirmation & Believers Baptism
If you are interested in being baptised yourself, or in arranging a baptism service for a little one, do please get in touch.
Anyone interested in baptism is invited to come along to one of our Sunday services and chat with a member of the welcome team or a church leader.
We ask that parents attend a Baptism preparation session – held once a term, during our 10.30 Sunday morning celebration. These are relaxed conversation-based gatherings in a small group with coffee and cake.
Funerals
On the sad occasion of the death of a friend or family member, support, prayer and help with planning a funeral at St Michael’s can make a real difference.
Our leadership team is experienced in caring for the bereaved, and is always willing to work with individuals and families to prepare for a funeral, cremation, burial or memorial service that is sensitive and fitting.
If you would like to speak to someone about the different options for funeral services, or if you would like prayer or support at any stage of grief, then do please get in touch.
