Baptisms
We are delighted to carry out Baptisms (also known as Christenings) for babies, children and adults. Our baptisms always take place within the main Sunday morning service Click here for details of service times and we operate a rota basis so each church has a turn to host baptism services. To enquire about baptism bookings please between contact the Parish Office buxtonparish@hotmail.com or call 01298 77856. Please note we are currently very busy catching up from the lockdowns.
It’s a bit of a strange thing to do – taking a little child to church, and pouring water over them. Why do we do it? What is the point of baptism?
What happens next?As we’ve said, your child’s baptism is the beginning of their journey of faith. In the baptism service you and the godparents promise to help them on that journey. One way is to pray for them. Here is a prayer you could use…
You can also say a simple prayer together at the end of the day, including a ‘thank-you’ time and a ‘please help’ time. It’s lovely to sing a song at bedtime too - like ‘He’s got the whole world in his hands’. Later on, children enjoy bible story books. And talk with your child about God - you don’t have to know all the answers. Revd Liz England 01298 77856
