Kristeen (Kris) Johns
I live in Barrie and have recently moved there from Wasaga Beach, so I am familiar with Simcoe County and the surrounding areas. This is a special day for you and your family and performing a Welcoming or Naming ceremony that's uniquely yours would be an honour. I was born to help others, offer encouragement and as a retired teacher with lots of public speaking experience I appreciate the importance and value of well-chosen words. Officiating and my hobbies have become my way of life. I’m quite interested in theatre, both as an audience member and on stage, I love music and enjoy singing in my community choir, there’s also my book club, and traveling. Let me assist you in a kind and understanding way to make your ceremony a memorable and enjoyable milestone in your lives.
Baptism Stories
Not being of a religious background, we were not sure how to welcome our son Liam into the spiritual world. Your ceremony and readings fit our family perfectly. The memories will live in our hearts forever. The naming ceremony helped to solidify the amazing extended family our son Liam has. We were very lucky to have found your service. Many thanks for making Liam's day so special.Iggy Greenwoos& Liam Scott
