Life Events

We want to be alongside the community for those important life events such as christenings/baptisms weddings and funerals.

Baptisms

We believe that every child is a precious gift from God, and we welcome families who want to bring their children to be baptised

Having your child baptised means that you promise to bring your child to church regularly, to pray for them and to teach them how to live as a follower of Jesus. You do not need to have been baptised yourselves, but your chosen Godparents do.

Some families ask for a Thanksgiving Service after the birth of their baby instead, if they feel they are not yet ready to make the promises in the Baptism Service about Christian faith.

We are also very happy to help adults who are thinking about getting baptised or confirmed.

To start the process of booking a christening or baptism then please contact the or 01235 861541

Baptism

Weddings

St Michael’s is a beautiful church to get married in and we welcome couples who have a link with our parish to celebrate their wedding here.

Marriage is God’s gift to all who hope to live together as husband and wife in life-long commitment. You don’t have to be a Christian to get married in church, but it is a way of asking God to be the foundation of your life as a married couple.

We are able to live-stream the service for friends and relatives who can’t make it on the day

Funerals

When someone you love has died, it is a time of sadness and pain. We are here to help you through your bereavement. Please be assured of our thoughts and prayers

We work with all the local funeral directors and would especially recommend Greens who are based in Eynsham, Tonks Brothers and Edward Carter both of whom are based in Abingdon.

If your loved one lived in the Parish, then we can arrange for them to be buried in the churchyard. We also have plots available for the interment of ashes after cremation.

At St Michael's we are able to live-stream the service for friends and relatives who can’t make it on the day.

Please get in touch with the  or call 01235 861541 if you’d like to hold a funeral service at either St Michael’s or St Andrew’s, or if you’d like a member of our clergy to be involved in a funeral service at the crematorium.
