All families who would like to have their child or children baptised (christened) in one of our churches in the White Horse Team are required to attend a preparation session. This is to set out what is involved in having your child baptised in one of our services, what happens in the service and what it means to start your child off in the Christian life. This is for parents, children and godparents (if they are available and would like to come).It is at this session that dates are booked and confirmed for the services. They usually take place within one of our Sunday morning services: at Praise & Worship at Holy Trinity on first Sunday of the month, and at All Saints Westbury at All Age Worship on fourth Sunday of the month.If you would like to come along, please enquire and book your place with our Team Administrator at office@whtministry.org.uk or ring 01373 859450 on Thursdays and Lynne will give you all the information and book your place.Thank you very much.Rebecca
An in person safeguarding training session will be held at Christ Church Warminster on Friday 12 September 1-4pm.The deanery is holding a face-to-face safeguarding training session for those required to do the basic training who find on-line training difficult. Places are limited so please book in early with Christ Church Admin Officer Linda Smith admin@christchurchwarminster.co.uk.If you attend, please bring your certificate back after completion of the training to show to your Parish Safeguarding Officer.
This is to remind everyone that if you have a role in your church eg, as sidesperson or welcomer, serving refreshments, or supporting activities involving children and young people or vulnerable adults, you are required to undertake Safeguarding training at basic and foundation level. This has to be refreshed every three years as the training is updated. The training can be completed online and to gain access to the course, please consult with your Parish Safeguarding Officer. Occasionally, courses are also available to do in person, either locally or in the Deanery and we will advertise these when they are available. If you’re not sure, please ask your Parish Safeguarding Officer: Jenny Wray-Bliss in Westbury and Yvette Croft in Dilton Marsh. Their contact details are available in your local church.Thank you very much.Rebecca
