Baptism

Adults and children may receive the sacrament of baptism as part of our Sunday morning worship. Because special feast days emphasize the themes of baptism specific Sundays have been recognized by The Episcopal Church as most appropriate to celebrate baptism. Those Sundays include the following Feast Days: The Baptism of Jesus, The Easter Vigil, Pentecost, All Saints Day and our Bishop’s Visitation Sunday. Other Sundays may be arranged at the discretion of the rector. To make arrangements for a baptism please contact the rector by phone (248.334.4571) or by email (rector@allsaintspontiac.org).

Marriage

Parishioners who are prepared to make life-long vows of marriage should contact the rector to make arrangements for counseling and to set a date for the celebration.

Funerals / Memorial Services

Parishioners are encouraged to notify the clergy of illness and/ or closeness to death so a pastoral presence may be with the person near death and the family. Then the clergy may pray with them and read the At the Time of Death office with them. Arrangements for a funeral or memorial service or possible internment in the Memorial Garden should be made by contacting the clergy or the parish office.
