A funeral marks the end of a human life on earth. It is an opportunity for friends and family to express their sense of grief and loss, to give thanks for the life that has ended and to commend that person to God’s safe-keeping. Find out more about how we can help.

Baptisms at Markfield, Thornton, Bagworth, Stanton under Bardon and Copt Oak
Baptisms

 

Baptism (also known as christening) is the sign of a decision to follow Jesus in the journey of faith. By doing so, the person being baptised joins God’s community, the church. Parents often bring young children to be baptised, but young people and adults of any age can also be baptised. Find out more about baptism for yourself or for your child.

Confirmation

 

Confirmation marks the point in the Christian journey at which you affirm for yourself the faith

into which you have been baptized and your intention to live a life of committed discipleship. This affirmation is confirmed through prayer and the laying on of hands by the confirming bishop.

Other

 

There may be other events we can help you to celebrate or commemorate – from thanksgiving for a significant milestone in a marriage with a service of Renewal of Vows to holding a memorial service to commemorate someone who has died and whose funeral has already taken place. 

DONATIONS:  Donations are always welcomed and should you wish to give to any of our churches, please go to the relevant church page.  Thank you
