St Michaels Baptism and Confirmation Service Sunday 20th July 2025

On Sunday 20th July at 10.30am we welcomed Bishop Julie, Bishop of Birkenhead to our Holy Communion Service which incorporated Baptisms and Confirmations. As part of the Baptism service some of the candidates were fully immersed in a pool filled with cold water, (yes it was cold) and some of the candidates were traditionally baptised by pouring the water over their head. The pool was situated on the Churches front lawn. There were 10 candidates baptised here by Bishop Julie and then back in church there were 17 candidates confirmed by Bishop Julie. Just before the service was concluded the candidates were presented with their baptism certificates, confirmation certificates and a lovely Book of Common Prayer. After the service in the Church Hall, there was lovely Bring and Share Lunch, which was provided by members of the congregation and friends to celebrate today's candidates.
