Christenings / baptism

We are delighted that you are considering Christening your child at St. James the Great Church, Salt.

We would love to be part of this holy and special time with you and those you love.

It is usual to have lots of questions about both the meaning of baptism, and what is involved.

We are here to answer those questions and support you in any way we can.

Please click on "Get in touch" on the left hand panel and let us know how we may help.

Here is a prayer from the Baptism service that you might like to use for your child in the meantime.


Faithful and loving God,
bless us who care for this child
and grant your gifts of love, wisdom and faith.
Pour out your healing and reconciling love,
and protect our home from all evil.
Fill us all with the light of your presence
and establish us in the joy of your kingdom,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
