How do we mark life’s passages? As Christians, usually with ritual and tradition and by keeping a sense of continuity with the trinitarian scriptural story of Creation, Fall, Redeeming Covenant, and New Creation. It's in the Trinitarian context of Father, Son and Holy Spirit - creating, redeeming and sanctifying - that we baptize and bless, celebrate matrimony, and mourn and bury our dead.
So, in this section of our website we’ve gathered resources for baptisms, weddings and burial services. We will be expanding the resources for these life events as existing materials are adapted for use on the website.
Take a moment to review these, and if you have any questions, please contact the Church Office at office[at]stgabriels.org.

Preparation of Wills
The Minister of the Congregation is directed to instruct the people, from
time to time, about the duty of Christian parents to make prudent
provision for the well-being of their families, and of all persons to make
wills, while they are in health, arranging for the disposal of their
temporal goods, not neglecting, if they are able, to leave bequests for
religious and charitable uses.
