Home Click here to break out of a frame. Times of Special Need Times arise in the lives of God's people which have special meaning in relationship to the church. We encourage you to make use of the services of your congregation at times of both joy and sorrow. Previous page Home Next page Birth and Baptism Please notify the church office at the time of a birth so that the congregation will have the opportunity to rejoice with you and offer a prayer of thanksgiving to God on this special occasion. Because baptism is important as a means by which God establishes His covenant even with infants, please arrange for the baptism of babies very soon following birth.
Parents are responsible to train the child in the meaning of the baptismal covenant.
Baptism must be joined together with Christian education and worship. Sponsors should be active members of the Lutheran Church. Other Christians may be witnesses to the baptism or may stand in for sponsors who are unable to be present. Back to contents When Planning a Wedding Please notify the church office well in advance of your intended wedding date. The pastor will want to meet with the engaged couple several times prior to the wedding in order to discuss basic pillars of a successful marriage and to discuss plans for the service.
