Confirmation 2013

The next Confirmation service will take place at 3pm on Sunday 14th July at Wellington College Chapel.


We will be joining forces with Finchampstead and Sandhurst parishes and possibly Owlsmoor. Preparation will be based upon the Emmaus Course and runs for 10 sessions.

 

Classes for adult candidates starting Monday 15th April, 8pm at 90 New Wokingham Rd


These will be led by Mrs Gillian Gyenes (LLM) and Rev'd David Ramsbottom


This is open to all those considering confirmation or who would just like a brush up on the basics of the faith. Help yourself to a leaflet the table at the back of the hall. Please return reply slip to the Vicar.


Classes for junior candidates


10 sessions Tuesdays from 5-6pm in the church hall, starting on Tuesday 16th April. 


These will be led by Mr Ken Perrett and Rev'd Lisa Cornwell

 

If any youngsters are undecided about confirmation, they are welcome to join the group and make a decision later on in the course. 
 
Weddings

Planning on getting married and hoping to do so with God’s blessing - a “traditional church wedding”? St John’s may be the place for you… If you live in the parish of Crowthorne, are on the electoral role of St John’s or have a qualifying connection with the parish then we should be able to talk business. Please speak to the Vicar. 
 
Baptisms


Your questions answered…..
If you are resident in the Parish of Crowthorne or a regular worshipper at St John’s and would like to bring your child up in the Christian faith, as a member of the Church, then please contact the Vicar about baptism. It may even be that you yourself have never been baptised and would like to make a Christian commitment – there is no age limit for baptism!

When: Generally the 2nd Sunday of the month during the main morning worship.

The Service: The baptism forms an integral part of the Holy Communion service at 10 am.

Font: After the sermon the ministers and baptismal parties gather around the stone font at the back of the church for the baptism itself.

Small people: Children are welcome to gather near the font to get a good view during the baptism. There is Sunday school and a crèche available during the service.

Donations: There is no charge for a baptism. During the service we will take up our regular offering for the work of the church during one of the hymns. Please contribute to the plate if you would like to.

Godparents: All Godparents must be baptised and ideally confirmed.
