Dedications and Baptisms

Dedication

When a new person comes into the world it is wonderful to be able to have a public dedication service.

At All Saints, a service of dedication is open to anyone, and it would be our joy to help you celebrate. To get started, you're invited to come on a Sunday morning at 11am for a few weeks, where you can get to know people and make make yourself known to one of the team (look out for those with lanyards). This will help you get a feel for who we are and what the church family is like.

After you have visited, please feel free to contact our Rector Tom Yacomeni or Gary Oaten (details below), and we will arrange for one of the team to visit you at home at your convenience. They will help you think things through and begin to look at possible dates. We hope that this process will also encourage you to consider joining the church family, and (most importantly) you would discover the full life that following Jesus brings.

Baptism

For regular members of All Saints who have made a choice to follow Jesus, we also offer a service of baptism.

A baptism service (sometimes known as a christening) requires you to make a clear and public statement of faith. To help you in your thinking we will offer all parents a course of preparation. Thanksgivings and baptisms are a wonderful opportunity to celebrate together. Both services take place in the context of our main Sunday morning worship at 11am.

Please have a think about which would be the best way forward. If your not yet part of All Saints then we look forward to welcoming you very soon.
