This document from Hayes Free Church discusses two options for celebrating the birth of a baby - a Service of Thanksgiving, Dedication, Naming and Blessing or a Service of Baptism. Both services normally take place during Sunday morning services at 10:30am to involve the whole congregation. The Service of Blessing thanks God for the baby's arrival and the parents promise to provide love and care, while the church pledges support. The Service of Baptism welcomes the baby as a full church member, with parents and church making commitments, and the baby becomes a baptized Christian. The choice between services is not about salvation but the level of commitment on behalf of the child.
