BAPTISMS/CHRISTENINGS AT  ST BARNABAS

It is amazing the different routes that lead to baptism at St. Barnabas.

There is a thought that baptism is only for babies but anyone can be baptised – whatever age – and that ‘s the joy of the sacrament. There are certain regulations with regard to where you live, please contact us for details.

The second person to be baptised in our new font after the church was re-opened was nearly 87 when she decided the time was right! Sometimes, entire families want to take the step together. It is always a joy to respond to a request, whoever it is.

Baptisms may take place as part of a Sunday service or more frequently, just afterwards;  very occasionally,  if someone is older,  they may want to take this step with a smaller group of people during the week. We’re very happy to have an initial conversation with you and then arrange to meet up to talk about the service and the promises made in it.

For more details on baptisms please contact the Vicar, Rev. Emma Sykes via her email: vicar@stbarnabaserdington.org.uk
