There at the start of life….
Baptism
Want help setting up Baptism teams?
There are a number of different models across the diocese where lay people are engaged in Baptism administration, preparation and visiting. Get in touch and I'll be happy to come and help you to connect with other models or work with you to put together something that suits your context
Need some help or some new ideas? Need new Baptism Resources?
Download here or contact me and I will email or post you an up to date resources sheet.
Have you got something that you would like to share with others?
Following an audit of the diocese the thing that parishes most wanted was the chance to hear from others about what they are doing. However big or small you think your idea is, others will gain from it.

Are you interested in learning more about Baptism?
The diocese runs a course that will help you to do just that. Contact: Gerri Tetzlaff, Committee for Mission and Ministry at Church House on 01244 620 444.
Parenting
Are you interested in leading a parenting course in your area?
The Diocese is seeking to establish a group of fully qualified parenting facilitators, able to run courses for parents and working together to create a network for mutual support. The long term plan is to work with other churches and local authorities to provide a quality service. Get in touch if you are running a course or would like to engage with new work in this area.
Concerned about supporting Fathers?
Working in conjunction with Mark Chesters at Hoole Lighthouse Church who has been pioneering this work locally and nationally and Cheshire local authority, the diocese is keen to support those who have a specific concern to develop their work in this area.
