Baptism

Many people are baptised as babies. Some are baptised in church in later life.
There is no right or wrong time.

For older children and adults, the decision to be baptised is theirs and is part of joining a worshipping community.

For small children, the decision is made for them and baptism is a permanent blessing.

Baptism cannot be cancelled or repeated.

The word christening is often used, and it is the same as baptism.
 
We baptise on Sundays at our regular services because baptism is
about welcoming the person into the church community.

At Tuddenham and Westerfield parish churches,
baptisms are preferably on the fourth Sunday of the month
and at Witnesham on the third Sunday.
If you would like to talk about baptism for yourself or your child, email Alan or Catherine
or ring 01473 252904 and they will contact you to arrange a meeting
