Birth, marriage, and death are important landmarks for all of us and for our families and friends. We want to rejoice at the birth of a baby, or when a couple make a commitment to each other in marriage; likewise, when someone dies, we need support to mourn their passing, to give thanks for their life, and to share our sorrow with other people.

Many turn to the Church for support and advice at these important milestones, even if they do not go to Church regularly. We are delighted to offer help and support at these times, so please do not feel embarrassed or reluctant to ask - it is part of our role of being a parish church.

If you would like to know more, please do not hesitate to telephone the Parish Office on 01227 768072, or Canon Noelle Hall on 01227 462686, and someone will be in touch within hours. You can find out a bit more information about Baptisms, Weddings, and Funerals by clicking on the hyperlinks, which will take you to a Church of England website.
