A wedding is one of life's great moments, a time of solemn commitment as well as good wishes, feasting and joy. We believe that marriage is intended by God to be a creative relationship, as his blessing enables husband and wife to love and support each other in good times and in bad, and to share in the care and upbringing of children. For Christians, marriage is also an invitation to share life together in the spirit of Jesus Christ. It is based upon a solemn, public and life-long covenant between a man and a woman, declared and celebrated in the presence of God and before witnesses. On their wedding day the bride and bridegroom face each other, make their promises and receive God's blessing. The support and encouragement that can be shown by friends and family at a wedding service are important but shouldn't end there. It should be treasured in the years to come. Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (1 Corinthians 13) Booking Weddings in Kirkby Weddings can take place in all four of our churches. It is up to couples as they make their plans to decide which would suit them best. In the first instance you are advised to come to our bookings office in Centre 63 every Tuesday evening between 6.30pm and 7.30pm when a member of the clergy is usual present. Providing there are no complications bookings can also be taken at the Centre 63 office on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings. Planning a Wedding? We have provided some resources here that we hope you will find helpful for planning the service in one of our churches. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
