A wedding is one of life's great moments, a time of solemn commitment as well as good wishes, feasting and joy. St John tells us how Jesus shared in such an occasion at Cana, and gave there a sign of new beginnings as he turned water into wine.

Marriage is intended by God to be a creative relationship, as his blessing enables husband and wife to love and support each other in good times and in bad, and to share in the care and upbringing of children. For Christians, marriage is also an invitation to share life together in the spirit of Jesus Christ. It is based upon a solemn, public and life-long covenant between a man and a woman, declared and celebrated in the presence of God and before witnesses.

Getting married at St Barnabas

If you live within the parish boundaries, or if you are a regular worshipper at St Barnabas and on the church electoral roll, you are entitled to get married at St Barnabas' church. Divorced people are also welcome for re-marriage.

If you would like to explore this possibility, contact a member of the clergy who will meet with you for a number of times to prepare for the day.
