Baptisms
The birth or welcome of a child is one of life’s most profound moments—a time when we feel a deep sense of wonder, joy, and gratitude for the promise of a unique new life.
Choosing baptism is a beautiful way to respond to that joy. It is a moment to celebrate God’s unconditional love, offer our thanks, and place our trust in Jesus Christ. In baptism, we warmly welcome your child into the global family of God, wrapping them in a community of care, prayer, and hope that lasts a lifetime.
Taking Your First Steps
We would love to meet you and your family! The best way to begin is simply to come along and introduce yourself:
-
Join Us for Worship: Drop in and say hello at one of our services—most families choose our 10:30 AM Sunday gathering at St Peter’s, but you are welcome whenever suits you best! (Be sure to check our latest newsletter for this month's service schedule.)
-
Pick Up a Baptism Card: Chat with Patrick, our Vicar, after the service. He’ll give you a simple Baptism card to complete.
-
Drop It Off: Once you've filled out your card, pass it along to the Parish Office.
After that, we’ll be in touch to arrange a relaxed time to sit down, chat about the ceremony, answer any questions, and plan this joyful celebration together.
God our Creator,
we thank you for the wonder of new life
and for the mystery of human love.
We give thanks for all whose support and skill
surround and sustain the beginning of life
As Jesus knew love and discipline within a human family,
may these children grow in strength and wisdom.
As Mary knew the joys and pains of motherhood,
give these parents your sustaining grace and love
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
