Baptisms

Yvonne Scicluna c/o Parish Office 0208 398 9641

We are delighted to baptise anyone who lives in the Parish. For many this is an opportunity to rejoin the Christian family and connect with the local community who will support your child and your family throughout their lives.

Parents will be asked to attend a baptism meeting following a Sunday morning service to explore the meaning of baptism and the practical elements of the baptism service.

Note: the page Downloads and Links has a number of notes and forms which you can download.

 

Thursdays

Parent and Toddler Group 9.30-11.30am (term time only), Church Hall,

Elaine Heptonstall 0208 398 7211

This very popular group for pre-schoolers and their parents/carers allows children to play constructively in a relaxed atmosphere. You can chat with friends old and new, and share the experience of bringing up a young family.

Drinks and biscuits are available at a small cost.

 

Friday Picnic Sessions

“Picnic Sessions” takes place on Fridays from 12.30 to 2.00 p.m.. This is an opportunity for parents to meet somewhere large and contained to allow young pre-school children to meet and play together in a safe environment. One of the benefits of attendance is the small scale of the event and numbers are therefore limited. Costs are shared amongst attendees. If you should like to join in, one needs to book in advance: contact Gemma Belton, 22 Church Walk, Thames Ditton KT7 0NW.

 

Sunday Family Service

Come to our Family Service at 10.00 a.m. (usually on the first Sunday of each month - for dates please check the page “This Week’s and Regular Services”). This is a shorter non-communion service.

 

Special Services

During the year there are also additional 'Special Services' which many children and their parents look forward to, especially Mothering Sunday, Harvest Festival, the Toy Service (usually early December), and the Christingle Service (usually mid-December).

 

After the service drinks and biscuits are served in the Church Hall. You and your children can meet other people from the church congregation, and there are even toys for the children to play with.

 

Toilets

In Church, there is a toilet next to where the choir stand, behind the organ pipes. If you are unsure please ask a sidesperson (the person who hands out the books) for assistance. There are several toilets in the Church Hall.
