Baptisms

Baptism is the way that children and adults become part of the church, and mark the beginning of their journey of faith with God. Preparation will be given by a member of the clergy

Parents are welcome to contact the Group Administrator to discuss what is involved. The Baptism in Woodhall Spa can take place during a Sunday Service. There is no charge but you may wish to leave a donation.

Godparents must be baptised and if possible, confirmed. For a boy, it is usual to have two male godparents and one female. For a girl, two female godparents and one male. 

Weddings

We are always delighted when a couple want to be married in one of our churches and happy to work with them to plan the service - and to think about the meaning of marriage.

To be married in a church, you need to have a connection to the parish or live or have lived in the parish. Alternatively, you will need to attend for at least 6 months before the wedding if you have no connection to the village or parish.

If you want to get married in one of the group churches, contact the Group Administrator before you make firm arrangements - and we’ll give you all the information you need. Nearer the date, the member of the clergy, who will take your service, will go through the service and look at the meaning of marriage, and arrange a wedding rehearsal.

Our treasurer will tell you about fees for the Church, organist, minister and verger. No deposit is required.

Funerals

If you live in the parish it is possible to have a funeral in one of the group churches followed by either a burial or cremation. The funeral director usually contacts a member of our clergy on your behalf and one of the ministers will visit to advise and discuss the service. We offer support to the bereaved family - please do get in touch.

We also have a Book of Remembrance at the back of St Peters where relatives can inscribe the name of their loved one on the anniversary of their death.
