getting married.
Heavenly Father,
We ask your blessing on our relationship. May our love grow stronger, our understanding grow deeper and our faith in You and each other be strengthened.
Bless we pray our preparations, our wedding day and our marriage. We ask this in the name of Jesus who celebrated a wedding in Cana in Galilee. Amen

Getting married...
Anyone who lives in Spixworth, St Faiths or Crostwick is welcome to get married in any of our three Churches. If you would like to arrange your wedding please contact the Rector
A marriage service, wherever it is held, is a public declaration of love and commitment to your partner.
If you choose to get married in church, there is an added dimension - the assurance that God cares about your relationship and that his resources and strength are available to help you. Including God in your marriage doesn't mean that you will avoid all the usual ups and downs, but you will know that you can look to God for help and guidance and that his love will sustain you. You will also have the encouragement and support of the Christian Church family here in Spixworth, St Faiths and Crostwick.
The cost of a wedding in one of our Churches in 2008 is £432.50.
This covers all the legal fees, an organist, choir and verger.
There are additional charges for , bells (in Horsham St Faith only)
and for the use of a video or DVD.
