Baptism

Seren2019Congratulations ! Having a child is a life-changing moment  – we hope everyone is settling into their new roles, whether as parents, siblings, grandparents or other supporters.

If you would like to arrange a Baptism in one of our churches, please complete this form and email it back to us at office@worthparish.org  Baptisms occur throughout the year, with some exceptions like Lent (Ash Wednesday to Easter Day), Advent (1st Sunday of Advent to Christmas) and Remembrance Sunday. If you have any queries, do not hesitate to contact us.

What is Baptism? Baptism, or being Christened, is when someone becomes a member of the Christian church.  When children are baptised, parents are thanking God for the gift of life and deciding to start their child on a journey of faith.  In baptism, we use water as a powerful symbol to indicate the person is making a new beginning as a member of Christ’s Church.

Godparents promise help and support and the church community welcomes the child and promises to pray for the family.  For your child, being baptised marks the start of a lifelong journey of faith as part of the local and worldwide Christian family.  Click here for more information on baptism, from the Church of England’s website.
