Baptisms, Weddings and Bereavement
The Church of Scotland operates on a parish system - that means that each church is responsible for providing pastoral support for key events such as baptisms, marriage and bereavement in the life of people living in the local parish.

Baptisms / Blessings
Baptism is a sacrament for children and adults. For adults, they make vows of commitment to Jesus Christ. For babies and small children, the parents make certain promises on behalf of their children. A parent or grandparent needs to have a Christian faith or be a church member in order to be able to make these vows. Baptisms normally take place during worship on a Sunday morning.
Sometimes, parents feel unable to make the vows of baptism, but would still like a service of thanksgiving and blessing for their child, and this too can be discussed.
Christian Marriage
When a couple come to the point where they want to find out more about Christian marriage, they can approach the minister of the parish in which they live. The minister can help the couple prepare for their wedding day, and for their married life together. If you live in our parish area our minister would be pleased to talk with you about your marriage.
Bereavement and Funeral Services
When a loved one is unwell, anyone within the parish can contact the parish minister for support. Through its parish system, the Church of Scotland seeks to serve all. Please direct enquiries to our interim Minister Rev. Hanneke Marshall

or in the case of a funeral, also through the undertakers.
There are no charges for the minister's time at funeral services or otherwise, but you may be asked to contribute towards heating and lighting, organist's fee etc. If you have any further questions, please get in touch.
