Baptisms & Thanksgivings
Children
At St. Margaret’s it is a joy to welcome children of all ages and many families choose to have either a Baptism/Christening or Thanksgiving service with us. These usually take place in our monthly All-Age services on the first Sunday of each month so that the whole St. Margaret’s family can be present (on other Sundays our Church children have their own groups to go to during the main part of the service).
If you have any questions about Baptism/Christening of children in the Church of England, please follow the link below or get in touch with one of the ministers at St. Margaret’s (see contacts) and we will be happy to help you!

Adults
We also offer adult baptism. For information on this in the Church of England, please follow the link below or get in touch with one of the ministers at St. Margaret’s (see contacts) and we will be happy to explore this with you.
