We look forward to hearing from you.
Christenings
We are really pleased that you are interested in a christening. They are a very exciting part of our journey of faith, and whether you are thinking about your baby or child being christened or thinking about it for yourself, there is lots to consider.
​
During the service, the person being christened will be baptised with water, amazing promises will be made, and they will be committed to God’s care, trusting that they will go on to grow stronger in their faith and be a light for Christ in their families and communities.
​
To find out more, you can visit the Church of England website here or contact the wardens on 07720 663428 or wardens@stgeorgeowlsmoor.org.uk

We look forward to hearing from you.
Confirmation and Funerals
Confirmation
The Diocese of Oxford says “Confirmation can be an important
part of a lifetime journey of faith as a follower of Jesus Christ and
many people who were christened as children go on to
confirmation—a chance to ‘confirm’ their baptism promises—
when they have grown up.”
You can find out more about confirmation by visiting the Church
of England website.
Please contact us if you want to take your journey of faith further
and wish to know how you can prepare for confirmation.

Funerals
You may be visiting this page after the death of a loved one. Our sympathy and prayers are with you.​
​
The Church of England offers Christian funeral services for everyone, whether or not they attended church. Services can be held in church or at a crematorium. It is also possible to have a service in church
followed by a short ceremony of committal at the crematorium (or, if appropriate, the other way around).
​St. George’s Church (Owlsmoor) and St. Michael’s Church (Sandhurst) provide Christian funerals and crematorium services upon request. The Funeral Director will coordinate arrangements.
There is helpful advice about planning a funeral on the Church of England website:
https://www.churchofengland.org/life-events/funerals.
If a funeral or cremation has been held elsewhere, we can also arrange for a Memorial Service to be held at St. George’s if that is the wish of the family.
