Life Events - Milestones on our journey through life
Thanksgiving for the birth of a child
We are very happy to welcome families to church to give thanks for the birth of a child. Please contact us. We will discuss arrangements with you, before we can arrange a baptism (also called a christening).
Baptisms and Confirmations
These are outward signs that a person has become a Christian. St Mary & St Nicolas church arranges about 60 baptisms each year. To discuss arrangements and available dates, please contact us
Weddings
A wedding is the occasion when a couple publicly make their marriage vows to each other and to God. St Mary & St Nicolas Church hosts about 20 weddings each year. To discuss arrangements and available dates, please contact us
Funerals
A funeral marks the close of our human life on earth. It offers the opportunity for friends and family to express their grief, to give thanks for the life which has now completed its journey in this world, and to commit a person who has died into God's care. St Mary & St Nicolas Church provides about 100 funerals each year. To discuss arrangements and available dates, please contact us or speak to a funeral director.
Ministry
Jesus gave us an example of ministry and calls us to follow His example. There are many ways we may respond to His call. Please contact us to discuss opportunities for training and for service.
