Can we be involved in planning the service?

Q/ Can we be involved in planning the service?

A/ Yes.  You can choose to have a modern language service or one in more traditional language including the Book of Common Prayer service.

There will also be some prayers, which you may help to choose, or you may write your own. You may want to involve friends and family members in the service, for example by doing a reading or a prayer or playing a musical instrument.

Your parish priest or the church organist can advise on suitable hymns and songs, as well as music for coming in, going out and during the signing of the register. 

Don’t forget: If you want to set out the words and/or music on a printed service sheet, you will need to remember to comply with copyright – your parish priest should be able to help you with this.
