<p>All gather round the font, the basin holding the holy water, and the child is baptised by the vicar and anointed with holy oil. It鈥檚 the start of an amazing journey of faith, supported by godparents and by the whole congregation. </p> <p>Prior to the Christening, we鈥檒l invite parents and godparents to a Baptism Session to explore what the ritual of baptism means, and the important role that parents and godparents play in the spiritual well-being of the child. Adults may also get baptised.</p> <p>We currently hold Christening services on the last Sunday of the month during the 10am service.
