Baptism or Christening?
Both are the same!  Baptism is the point at which a baby, child or adult becomes a member of the church.  If it is an adult who is being baptised they will make a statement of faith and of commitment to worshipping in the church.  In the case of a baby or child, this will be done on their behalf by their parents & godparents.
 
In the case of a baby or child you will be sent a booklet explaining the different services available and then the Team Vicar, Pauline Scott, will come and speak with you about the service and answer any questions you might have.
 
If you are interested in baptism or would like to find out more then please contact Pauline Scott, the Team Vicar on 698410.
 
 
Baptism:
A visible sign of God's love for us.
 
 
See Baptism in the Church of England for more information.
As St Leonard's is both Church of England & Methodist, adults or children may also be baptised into the Methodist Church.  See Baptism in the Methodist Church.
 
The only difference is the exact form of the service as both denominations accept baptism into the other.
