Product Description
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.

'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 'Andrew has drawn together a wealth of expertise and good practice, wrapped in a heart-warming blend of pastoral concern and sound business sense.' -- Jan Harney www.newlywedsuk.com 'When I was involved in a bog town church with four or five weddings in a day, then I tended to gloss over the real pastoral opportunities we had with families and couples. This book reminds us that we should spend time looking sensibly at the chances we are given, especially with non-church regulars. Buy it now and reap the benefits!' -- Ian Gibson
