jonous101 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I would like to get my son christened this summer as my young daughter is, but with 2 small children and a hubby that is away 5 days a week, its very difficult to attend church. We are in parson cross and was wondering if there are any churches in the vicinity who could accomodate us? Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denlin Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Try St Pauls on Wordsworth Avenue but couldn't tell you whether any church would want you to attend beforehand as I have no religion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegas1 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Don't understand why you would want to get a child christened if you aren't a churchgoer, unless you are religious it doesnt really mean much these days. I havent bothered with my two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I havent bothered with my two I can see your point. In my situation it was pressure from grandparents. I would have let my child make is own decision on reaching adulthood, but I was persuaded into booking a christening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
