Baptisms
|
Baptism services at Westhill Community Church are some of the most exciting times in the life of the church! They are times of celebration as we thank God for the new life he gives us in Jesus Christ.
For infants our Baptism Services take place on a Sunday in the Sanctuary. For teenagers and adults we hold our baptisms in the River Dee in the summer or the local swimming pool. We baptise adults who find faith in Jesus Christ, and also children of believing families. When baptising infants, parents normally appoint Godparents whose main role is to pray that their Godchild will grow up following Jesus. Special promises are made at baptism - words of commitment to Jesus Christ and his church. |

Funerals
A funeral is used to mark the end of a person's life here on earth. Family and friends come together to express grief, give thanks for the life lived
and commend the person into God's keeping. These can be a small, quiet ceremony or a large occasion in a packed church.

Arranging a Funeral Service
|
Some people find planning the funeral with family and friends helps in their grieving. Perhaps you already know something of what your loved one wanted. You may even have planned the service together some time ago.

Jesus said to his disciples: 'Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house there are many dwelling places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also. And you know the way to the place where I am going.' Thomas said to him, 'Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?' Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
