Life Events at St Laurence’s
Baptisms
Baptism in the Church of England is an important part of the Christian faith journey for individuals, families and the wider worshipping community. We hold baptism services several times a year as part of our regular Sunday worship.
We invite those preparing for baptism and their supporters, or parents & godparents in the case of children, to join us for baptism preparation sessions a couple of weeks before the baptism service.
If you would like to enquire about getting baptised or bringing your children for baptism, please complete the enquiry form below.
