When do Baptisms/Thanksgivings happen?
They normally take place be in the main service 10 am or occasionally at the monthly 4.30pm
Very Young Families Service (VYF). The church leadership sets these dates in advance and
would normally have one baptism service per month. We discuss dates with families after we
have seen the DVD together.
We live outside the parish. Can we still have our baby baptised?
Most baptisms are for people who either live in the parish or who are regular worshippers with
us (or both). Ideally people live locally or intend to make St Margaret's their home church. If
this is unrealistic we encourage you first to consider your local parish church.

We often
conduct baptisms for families who have had a previous link with the church community
(married in the church, another child baptised here etc) but if you life a long way away we
encourage you first to give proper consideration to using your local church.
Where can I get more information about baptism?
The Church of England website www.cofe.anglican.org/lifeevents has more details and if you contact our office we can send you leaflets for parents and godparents.
