In our discipleship journey, we share with our local church family many moments of both joy and sadness. “If one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it” (1 Corinthians 12:26). Sacred ceremonies and ordinances provide opportunities for spiritual reflection and acknowledge our dependence upon God at important junctures in our lives. Within the Seventh-day Adventist Church, important ceremonies and ordinances include baptisms, Communion services, child dedications, ordinations, anointings of the sick, funerals, and weddings.
