Synopsis

Is your church making the most of weddings? This book is for anyone in parishes that would like to develop their ministry to wedding couples.

Drawing on many years' experience as a parish priest as well as 'good ideas' used by parishes throughout the UK, Andrew Body offers advice and practical wisdom on how churches can:

  • promote their church as an attractive wedding venue;
  • make positive initial contacts with wedding couples;
  • help couples organize the service (including understanding the legal requirements);
  • offer good marriage preparation and support the couple in the build-up to the big day;
  • take the service well;
  • ensure the wedding couples are not forgotten after the day itself.

From the Back Cover

'This book is inspirational. I read it on the train and amused
other commuters by my occasional outbursts of admiration! Andrew has drawn
together a wealth of expertise and good practice, wrapped up in a
heart-warming blend of pastoral concern and sound business sense. I am
convinced that if every PCC read and actioned these ideas our congregations
would see tremendous growth of a generation currently missing from many
churches.'
Revd Jan Harney, Leigh, Lancashire, Member of the Archbishops' College of
Evangelists
