Baptisms, Weddings & Funerals
God is with you throughout your life journey. At St. Luke’s United we want to help you celebrate God’s presence at the special milestones in your life and the life of your family.
If you would like St. Luke's United Church to officiate at your family baptism, wedding, or funeral service, please contact our minister (rickgunn@stlukesunited.ca) for more information.
Baptism & Profession of Faith
Baptism is a world-wide sacrament which brings a baby, a child, youth, or adult into a covenantal relationship of love and belonging with God and the church. To baptize a person is a great joy and deep responsibility for family, friends, and church. All that you need to do is pray about why baptism is important to you and have a chat with the minister to learn more and to discover how and when it can happen.
When someone is already baptized but, as a youth or adult, would like to make a Profession of Faith or confirm their baptismal vows, please contact the minister at rickgunn@stlukesunited.ca.
Marriage
As a church, we believe the love of God is powerfully found within our relationships with one another and, because of our belief, we celebrate the Covenant of Marriage as a service of Christian worship. Marriage is a spiritually and legally binding union of two adults of any sexual orientation and gender identity and expression.
Funeral & Memorial Services
And at life’s end, we again remember the wonder and mystery of life, give thanks for the life lived and grieve the loss of our loved one. In a Funeral or Memorial Service, we again note God’s presence as we celebrate their life, reach out to their family and friends with care and support, and remember the story of the resurrection and, in doing so, gain hope, strength and courage.
If you have any questions about how the church can help you mark and bless any significant moment in your life and the life of your loved ones, contact the minister.
