Thinking of baptism?
Baptism/Christening
You will hear it called baptism or Christening. It's the same thing! The church calls the ceremony baptism but it also gets called Christening as we are making a commitment to Jesus Christ and marking our place in his family.
How do I book?
Normally all baptisms for both churches should be booked in person at our office hour 6 - 7pm each Thursday evening. This is to ensure that we keep all your important information in one central place. However due to Covid-19 th parish office is closed until further notice. All queries or concerns can be answered now by emailing northwearsideparish@gmail.com or by phoning the clergy Jennifer Bradshaw or Chantal Noppen.
What will it cost?
Nothing! There is no charge for baptism. There will be an opportunity at the service to give to Winter Warmer - a hot meal on a Tuesday evening from Nov - March and the work of Centrepoint Sunderland. If you'd like to make a donation specifically to the work of the church it will be gratefully received we can accept cash and card payments. You can give to our build up Holy Trinity campaign through this website too. As with all organisations we are grateful for all financial aid!
