Baptisms at All Saints Church, Glazebury
We hope that we can help to celebrate the birth of your child with a Baptism in church. Baptisms can either take place during our Family Communion Service at 11a.m or at 2p.m on Sunday afternoon by arrangement with the curate.
All families who live in the parish are welcome to have their child baptized in All Saints Church. Other families who have links with the parish through marriage and through other family members are welcome to discuss baptism for their child with the curate. There is no fee for a baptism.
In the Baptism Service parents and godparents make a public commitment to follow Christ and promise to bring their children up in the family of the Church.
Normally there are two godfathers and one godmother for a boy; two godmothers and one godfather for a girl. Parents may also be godparents if they wish.
We normally need four weeks notice from the time you send in your completed application form to the curate. Please make initial enquiries by telephone to Rev Pat Gray 01942 603161. Web application form baptism at Glazebury.pdf
Your whole family, together with your friends, is welcome to attend the service. Please don’t worry about your baby crying or being noisy during the service – we are used to that and it causes no problems. We have a Sunday Group for children aged 3+ which older children are welcome to attend if the baptism service seems long.
We also encourage you to consider sending your child to our church school; Glazebury Church of England School. You may wish to contact the head-teacher, Mrs. Elaine Morgan (01925 763234).
