Thanksgiving For The Gift Of A Child 

A special church service, different from a christening, can be used as a way to say thank you to God for your child.

It is called a Thanksgiving for the Gift of a Child and you can view the words of this service by clicking here. The service is a wonderful event, a time of celebration, thanks and prayer. You might also choose this service when your baby is just born, or if you have adopted a child into your family and you simply want to celebrate this.

It is possible to have this service instead of a christening if you decide that now isn’t the right time to have your child baptised.
