Baptisms, Marriages and Funerals 

As part of our service to the local community, we are happy to welcome families in both happy and sad moments for Christian services of baptism, marriage and funerals. 

BAPTISMS

If you would like to ask for the baptism (christening) of your baby or small child, this should be by contacting the minister.  He will be happy to discuss this with you.  Baptisms are usually part of the regular morning service at the church.

MARRIAGES 

Similarly if you are interested in the possibility of a marriage service at this church, you should contact the minister initially.  He will need to be satisfied that the service will be in accordance with the policies of the Methodist Church on marriage: you may like to know that the Church does allow the marriage of those previously married, subject to certain conditions.  Please do not make any other arrangements (with hotels etc.) until you have agreed a date and time with him. 

 FUNERALS

Normally contact with the church concerning a funeral (or service of thanksgiving following a funeral) is made by the undertaker you have chosen, and initial arrangements are made by the undertaker on your behalf.  The minister will then contact you to discuss details and to visit you before the funeral takes place.  If you wish to contact the minister directly, you are of course free to do so.
