Most of us have been baptised or Christened as it is popularly called and most of us have observed what happens. Here is an extract from a modern order of service for Baptism which explains its significance.
After his resurrection Jesus said to the disciples: ‘Full authority in heaven and on earth has been committed to me. Go forth therefore and make all nations my disciples: baptise men everywhere in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Sprit, and teach them to observe all that I have commanded you. And be assured, I am with you always to the end of time’. (Matthew 28 v 18-20)
Therefore, when people became Christians they were baptised. That is they went down under the water and came up again. This meant they were dying to the old way of life and rising again to a new way of life. Jesus had made this opportunity by his own death and resurrection.
Although for most part the Church no longer baptises by immersion in the water, the meaning of baptism is still the same. It stands for the new beginning God has given us through Jesus. It shows that we are to live as God’s children in his family, the Church. It declares that God gives us the Holy Spirit as the guarantee of eternal life.
Wedding services can be held at almost any time of the week other than when other services are being held or the premises are in use for other pre-booked events. The wedding service format and content is discussed between the Minister and the couple and their family to ensure that both the legal requirements of the marriage ceremony and the wishes of the couple are integrated appropriately.
The premises can be used for marriages with ordained celebrants other than our own Minister, by prior agreement.
Further information on baptismals and weddings at Park Lane Church is available from the Minister by phone, email or at the church on the address above
