Baptisms (Christenings)
We know that Jesus saw a special place for children. As a Parish we seek to welcome children and their families.
A Christening (or Service of Baptism)
Baptism marks the beginning of a journey with God which continues for the rest of our lives, the first step of faith in response to God’s love. For all involved, but especially parents and godparents, it is a special time to rejoice in your own baptism, to recall what God has done for you in Jesus, to renew your faith and to re-commit yourselves to being part of Christ's church and bringing your child up within the church.
A Service of Thanksgiving for the Gift of a Child
Some people, quite appropriately, do not wish to make the commitments to Christian faith or being part of the church that are involved in baptism. So we also offer a joyful service of thanksgiving for parents who simply want to come to church and celebrate the birth (or adoption) of your child. We offer this service to anyone with connections to Heswall, no matter where you live. We are happy to arrange services on Sundays or at other times to suit your family.
