Life Events

During the major events of your life we are here to support you and walk with you! We take seriously what Scripture says to, rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep (Romans 12:15).  On this page you will find general resources to help you navigate major faith events in your life; baptism, weddings, and funerals.

*In most cases, the first step in planning any of these events is to call the church office and let any staff member know you would like to plan a wedding or baptism or have lost a loved one.  They’ll know how to take it from there! 651.436.1138.


Baptisms

At Memorial we celebrate God’s promises gives to us through baptism! As a church family we work to support parents, godparents, baptized adults, and all children as we grow in faith. Baptisms are celebrated in the midst of our Sunday morning worship, a sign that in baptism we are made one with Christ and with the whole people of God. If you would like to be baptized, or have your children baptized, please contact Pastor Karen for more information. You can also complete the form below.

3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.

Romans 6:3-5

Weddings

Marriage is a gift of God, intended for the joy and mutual strength of those who enter it and for the well being of the whole human family.

Funerals

At the funeral we give voice to sorrow, thank God for our loved one, and entrust this companion into the hands of God. For more information about Funerals at Memorial, please download the funeral planning guide and contact Pastor Karen.
