Baptisms, weddings and celebrations
We love parties, and offer a unique, bespoke, way to celebrate those important events in your life.
Baptisms
We are able to baptise people, or offer a thanksgiving or naming ceremony, and are keen to support parents, friends and families as they welcome people into their lives. Family life is brilliant and complicated, so we do not have any expectations about what a family looks like. We would love to pray for you and support you, and encourage you to discover more about the Jesus-way as you journey on. Please contact the minister via the administrator on codsallmethodist@gmail.com for a conversation about planning the celebration and ceremony you would like.
Weddings
We are registered to marry people, and offer a very competitive package for couples looking for a flexible, bespoke, church experience. Please contact the minister for more information about a marriage service or wedding blessing following a civil wedding or partnership ceremony.
Celebrations of Life and Funerals
We believe that God cares for us in life, and offers us hope for beyond life too. Death is a necessary, but difficult, part of our human experience.
We are able to to support you through the process of preparing for a funeral, as well as in the longer term experience of grief - which you may never fully leave behind (and that's ok). Grief can creep up on us when we least expect (or want) it.
We offer a bespoke funeral service - in chapel, at the local crematoria, or at a graveside. Talk to your funeral director about referring your funeral needs to us, and we will meet with you to discuss everything that you want in the funeral for a loved one. The minister is also available should you wish to discuss your wishes and to plan your own funeral. This can be in conversation, or as part of your will.
In addition to our funeral service, we hold an annual memorial service, so that you can take some time before Christmas, to remember those whom you have loved and lost.
