Baptisms
Baptism celebrates our identity as people loved by God, and makes us part of the community of those who follow Christ.
Baptisms are normally celebrated during the 9.30am service, where the congregation will welcome you into the community and promise to support you as you begin to live out your baptism or as you help your children to do so.
If you would like to be baptised or to bring your children to be baptised please talk to our minister.
Weddings
The Christian celebration of marriage is an act of worship in which we offer praise to God for the life and love God has given us. You invite the people gathered to witness your declaration of love to each other and your promises to be faithful to one another, and we ask God’s blessing on your marriage.
You can make an initial inquiry through the church office. A copy of our wedding brochure can be posted or emailed to you. Your booking can be confirmed once you have paid a deposit and had your first meeting with our minister. Three or four meetings with the minister will allow you to complete the necessary legal paperwork, complete and discuss the PREPARE* resource, and plan your wedding. A rehearsal a few days before the wedding helps everyone understand their part in your special day.
*PREPARE is the short, confidential counselling resource used by many ministers throughout Australia. It consists of questions that help a couple explore their relationship, so that you can both be aware of strengths and growth areas.
Funerals
A well-planned funeral can help us honour and give thanks for the life of the person who has died as we affirm the Christian understanding that, even after we die, we continue in God’s love. If you are in the position of needing to organise a funeral and would like it to be at Morialta please contact our minister.
