Baptism Officiants in Simcoe, ON
David Allman
I'm retired and my wife and I live in Port Rowan. Having many family members and friends from a variety of cultures, religious beliefs and backgrounds I accept and respect the differences and similarities there are between us all. I am quite comfortable performing religious or spiritual Baptisms or non-denominational Naming Ceremonies for families who have definite ideas about how the event could be made more special or significant to them. Whether you want your special occasion to be large or small, formal or informal, intimate, spiritual or non-denominational, I will work with you to achieve your desired outcome. My goal is to ensure that your ceremony reflects your values, life style and personal beliefs leaving you with a lasting and meaningful memory. A former broadcaster with CBC Radio and as a confident professional I pride myself on bringing calm, affirming support and acceptance to your special day by being easy going, a good listener and very flexible.
Marianne Helgers (Hurd)
Marianne resides in Brantford, but emigrated from the Netherlands as a child. A bonus byproduct is she is fluent in both English and Dutch! She is the mother of three adult sons and nothing would make her happier than to conduct a baptism or welcoming ceremony for a child or adult in your family. She is well respected in her community as Designated Minister and an Officiant. Marianne is outgoing and always sees the positive in life with a mixture of love, humour and compassion.
Baptism Stories
The welcoming ceremony had a personal quality, with the beautiful poem and readings, that made it special for us as parents. The extra TLC you added to the ceremony made it extra special. You were warm and friendly, organized and thoughtful and we would have you back anytime! Thanks again for a wonderful memory!
