Weddings and Baptisms in the Midst of A Pandemic

Covid times may be here with us, changing life as we know it…but it’s so comforting to know that the important things in life still carry on. It’s so wonderful to see people still coming to the Lord for their sacraments. We are in full swing of Weddings and Baptisms. Things may look different with our Wedding Preparation and our Baptism classes, but our ministries are so grateful to be a part of helping these couples and young families bring God into their lives through the sacraments.

Zoom has been a life saver for our sacramental preparations. Our Couple to Couple Ministers have been meeting with many of our engaged couples via Zoom meetings to help them prepare for their marriages. Social distancing has also been a key factor in meeting with some of our couples when they choose to meet in person. It is a blessing and we are so thankful to the ministers that have been willing to try new ways to meet with the couples preparing for their marriages. We have also been preparing our families for Baptism with virtual Baptism classes over Zoom meetings. Just this month, we have 12 families coming together over Zoom to learn about bringing their children into the Family of God. While life is not what we could have ever imagined it to be, nothing-not even a pandemic-can stop us from coming to the Lord through the sacraments.
