With minimal instruction, adults are\naccepted into the congregation as confirmed members, invited to participate\nfully in the activities and decision making of the church. Infants and\nchildren, while members of the church, gain church voting rights upon\ncompletion of their confirmation instruction. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For information and to arrange for\nbaptism, contact Pastor Ron Wesemann at the church number (610-933-9611). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: We, as Lutherans, accept the\nbaptisms of other Christian faiths and do not see a need to re-baptize those\nfrom other churches who seek to join the St. Peter\u2019s congregation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">End of Life Care<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nChurch of St. Peter\u2019s Lutheran is available to help you during your time of\ngrief, to help you commit your loved one to the Lord and to lay him\/her to\nrest.
