There are a number of times in our lives when there is great change in our lives & circumstances.
Weddings:
In a Church Wedding Service, before God and in the presence of their families and friends, a couple make declarations of lifelong love and commitment to each other.
No greater change in our lives than this. From life to death, from life to decay and, hopefully, from life to everlasting life.
Admittedly if baptised as children, we often don’t get a choice, but it is still a turning point in our lives, a time when others make a commitment, a promise, on our behalf.
