Christenings
|
We hold many Christenings (also referred to as Baptisms) at St Peter’s and welcome all enquiries for children, or from adults.
A Christening is start of an amazing journey of faith which involves turning away from all that is evil, turning towards Christ and becoming a member of the local and worldwide Christian family. In it we receive the wonderful invitation to 'Shine as a light in the world to the glory of God'. |

Christening for children
Christenings are a celebration of the joy that our children give us; the recognition that they are part of God’s family with us and the profound experiences of gratitude to God for their presence in our lives.
The service
Wherever possible, Christenings take place within the main 10am Sunday service throughout the year so that the congregation can welcome and promise to support the child in their journey of faith. If, due to special circumstances this is not possible, Christenings after the service on Sunday afternoons may be offered.
How to arrange
If you’d like to arrange a Christening, please contact the Parish Office: stpeterschurch.lttm@gmail.com / 01883 712512. You are also very welcome to come along to any Sunday to discuss with our Rev Helen after the service.
Preparation
Once you have made your initial enquiry and settled on a date, our Parish Administrator will send you some more information including a Baptism Application for you to fill in. Rev Helen will then be in touch to arrange a visit to help prepare you for this special day. For more information about Church of England Christenings visit: https://churchofenglandchristenings.org/
After the Christening
We look forward to marking this special event with you, and very much hope you will continue to be involved in the life of St Peter’s. Everyone brings their own special gifts, and Christening is a beginning as well as a wonderful day.
