Baptisms, Marriages & Funerals

Life Events

The Bible compares human life to a journey. Each journey has a beginning, a middle and an end. Along the journey there are a number of significant events where we as a church can offer specific support and assistance.

Christenings & Thanksgivings

Baptism, also known as Christening marks the beginning of the journey of faith, symbolising turning towards Jesus Christ and joining the community of the church. As well as Baptisms we also offer Thanksgiving Services, where we thank God for the gift of a new child and pray for them and for their family.

 Baptism & Thanksgiving Request

The birth of a baby is a very special occasion and one worth celebrating before God as a family. Please complete this form if you would like to request a baptism or thanksgiving.

 Wedding Application Form, to Get Married at Woodhill Church

If we're your Parish Church but you're getting married at another church, you still require your banns to be read with us. Please complete the banns application form below.

 Application for Reading of Wedding Banns

This form should be completed by both you and your fiancé/e as quickly as possible to ensure the banns are read to enable your wedding to go ahead as planned.

Funerals

When someone dies, whether expected or not, it comes as a shock.  If you simply want to talk with someone, please feel you can contact our pastoral support team and ask to speak with someone or ask for a visit.  If you are seeking a Christian funeral we are very willing to do all we can to help; please contact a Funeral Director who will approach us initially on your behalf.
