Our Courses
The Bereavement Journey® is an award-winning* series of films and discussion groups that gently guide people bereaved at any time through the most common aspects of grief and bereavement, enabling them to process the implications for themselves and discern next steps.
Usually run by churches, the programme uniquely offers a final session on faith questions in bereavement, provided from a Christian perspective. This follows the main sessions and is optional, making The Bereavement Journey® suitable for people of any faith or none.
We plan to be running Bereavement Journey Groups soon but until then do follow the link as there are national online courses which can be signed up to.
Life is better together. Alpha brings together people from all walks of life who are curious about faith. Each session starts with some time to eat, relax and get to know your group.
Each session covers a different topic of faith, either in a short talk or video. The Alpha episodes are designed to engage and inspire conversation. They’re about thirty minutes long and explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions such as Who is Jesus?, How can we have faith? and How does God guide us?
The last part of an Alpha is a chance to share your thoughts on the session’s topic and discuss it in your small groups. It’s an open and welcoming environment, no matter what your opinion. There’s no pressure to say anything, but the floor is yours if you do want to.

We love baptisms, whether it little ones or older ones! We also love to journey with families ad individuals so that they really understand, feel welcomed and are able to explore faith within the life of this Parish.
We like to invite families or individuals to attend a Church service at least once before the baptism, we also meet with you 2-3 times to get to know you, pray with you and answer any questions about Baptism (sometimes called Christenings).
Email us to explore booking a baptism with us: info@marchwoodandelingparish.org and check out our Baptism Page under Life Events.
The 2-3 visits make up the preparation for Baptism, we hope you enjoy it!
