Christian Marriage is a solemn and public covenant between a man and a woman in the presence of God, and in the midst of the believing community. In the Episcopal Church it is required that at least one of the parties be a baptized Christian; that the ceremony can be attested to by at least two witnesses; and that the marriage conforms to the laws of the State and the Canons of this Church. Persons who have been divorced may be remarried in the Church.

Thanksgiving for the Birth or Adoption of a Child is the service with which the community celebrates the bringing of a child into a family. It is how we welcome the child to the family of the church, and offer thanksgiving to God for the gift of a child.

Burial of the Dead is the last service, in this life, to be offered for a baptized Christian. When a member of the congregation dies, the death should be reported to the Minister of the Congregation as soon as possible, so that the community can make preparations. The liturgy for the dead is an Easter liturgy, finding its meaning in the resurrection of Jesus, and stating our faith in that joyful hope. It does not negate our grieving, indeed, the ritual of the service is a way to bring comfort, and to begin healing.
