At St James’ Christenings: can take place on one Sunday afternoon each month when two or three families gather together for a Christening Service or by arrangement they can take place as part of the 10am Sunday morning communion service.
Is there a charge ? a question frequently asked when booking a wedding or christening service. The simple answer is there are fees for a wedding service however a christening service is free.
Part of the fee for a wedding goes to St. James church to contribute to the ongoing expense needed to keep the doors of this 140 year old church open, provide heating, lighting, music and the verger who prepares the church, opens the doors and welcomes your guests.
Our ministry team have an open Baptism policy which means that they will not refuse to arrange christening or baptism for anyone, child or adult who asks for it. They offer baptism to families whatever shape that family takes as part of the service of the church to the wider community.
At St. James’ we appreciate all donations contributed to the church so we can keep the doors open and continue to welcome families to Christening Services. You might like to advise your guests that a retiring collection plate will be available as they leave the church.
Car Parking Although the church does not have a car park it is sometimes possible arrange for parking to be available at Daisy Hill Football Club, just a short distance away on St. James Street. Please ask about this when booking a wedding, christening or funeral.
