A Guide to Blessings and Baptism 

in the churches of the Harrowdens, Orlingbury, Isham and Pytchley

The birth or adoption of a child is a cause of great celebration.  Many people are overcome by a sense of awe at the creation of new life and want to express their thanks to God.  

At your local parish church we would like to join in your celebraitons by offering you a choice of services for your child - including a Blessing at home, Thanksgiving in Church and the service of Baptism.

Please download and read this short booklet to explain what is on offer to you

After that your next step is to speak with Revd Mary Ireland and chat over which celebration will be best for you and then sort out the details with her.
