| Chaplaincy Services |
Various services are rendered to the members of the Church: Sunday Worship ServicesWe have a very lively Sunday service stating from 9.00am to 11.00am. It is characterized with praises, personal and group presentations and the sermon for the day. Holy CommunionThe sacrament of Holy Communion is symbolic. It reminds the Christians of the death of Jesus Christ for the sin of mankind (his body was broken for us; his blood was shed for us). All full communicants are entitled to this sacrament. Catechism training is done with those who are not full communicants. This prepares them to be partakers in the Lord’s Table. BaptismBaptism signifies entry into God’s family (the Church). We recognize adult and infant baptism. We may baptize an adult who has never been baptized but now wishes to be. A couple who wishes that their child be baptized makes it known to the minister. The minister then organizes for counseling sessions with them. This helps them conceptualize the meaning of infant baptism. It also gives the minister an opportunity to know the status of their marriage. Sunday School“Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it”. (Proverbs 22: 6). This is our calling to the Sunday school ministry. We have a well organized Sunday school, taking care of the junior youth and the young children. Children are taught the word of God so that they may grow to know him and make him known. We also have brigade training for the junior youth. WeddingsThe choice of a minister to officiate a wedding is the prerogative of the couple involved. If the chaplain is the minister of choice, then he or she shall conduct the wedding ceremony, following the procedures thereof. The wedding may take place in any place of the couple’s choice. The service is not limited to the members of the KEMU Church. It is an aspect of community service. Premarital CounselingPremarital counseling is the whole process of preparing people for marriage. It is done at the couple’s request. Any person can request for this service even if they are not members of the KEMU Church. It is the minister’s contribution to the community. Marriage CounselingThis is counseling with people who are already married but wish to enrich their marriages. Any member of the KEMU community or the neighbors may request for the service.
