Baptism, Weddings and Funerals
Baptism preparation
At any age, baptism is an important part of your faith and we’d love to welcome you or your child into the Christian community and God’s church through baptism.
Baptisms generally take place as part of a Sunday worship service because when you are baptised you are being connected to God’s church. As Lutherans, we believe baptism is a sacrament, where God comes to us, welcomes us, forgives us and invites us to join him with others for a lifetime of growing in faith.
To prepare for baptism contact Pastor Richard 02 9331 1822 or pastor@stpaulssydney.org
Weddings
Whether you are planning a small or large wedding, in our church building or another venue that is special to you, our pastor would love to assist you.
Our pastor will:
- undertake some pre-marriage counselling and guidance
- guide you through the essentials of the wedding service
- provide some practical help in planning the ceremony
- officiate your wedding according to the rites of the Lutheran Church of Australia
It is best to contact Pastor Richard 02 9331 1822 or pastor@stpaulssydney.org as early as possible to discuss your wedding plans.
Funerals
St Paul’s is willing to assist you during your time of grief in helping you arrange your loved one’s funeral or memorial service.
Our pastor leads funeral and memorial services in our church building, funeral home chapels and cemetery chapels.
It is also helpful for us in caring for you that our pastor meets with you before the service as part of the funeral planning process. To assist you in planning the funeral or memorial service, please contact Pastor Richard 02 9331 1822 or pastor@stpaulssydney.org as soon as possible.
