Sacraments In the Presbyterian tradition, the sacraments of baptism and communion are typically celebrated as part of Sunday morning worship. Weddings, funerals, and memorial services are usually scheduled at times other than Sunday morning. All of these events are services of worship in which praise is directed toward God, God's word is proclaimed, and God is approached in prayer. For historical inquiries about archival records, such as old marriage or funeral records, please visit the Presbyterian Historical Society. 1/4 Baptism Baptism is one of two sacraments, or “sacred acts” that Jesus commanded his followers to observe, the other being the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Baptism is the act of initiation into the Christian faith and into the Christian Church. In the Presbyterian tradition, both children and adults may be baptized, though most Presbyterian parents choose to have their children baptized as infants. Register Marriage Marriage in the Christian tradition is a lifelong covenant made in the presence of God and into which God is invited. A wedding is a service of worship in the context of which two persons enter into the covenant of marriage. At The Brick Presbyterian Church, all weddings are Christian in their theological orientation, implying that at least one member of the couple be a confessing Christian. The basic format of the wedding service is drawn from one of the several liturgical resources of the Presbyterian Church (USA), usually the Book of Common Worship. Weddings at The Brick Church are available to members. Learn more about membership here . Request Here Funerals & Memorials Funerals and memorial services are services of worship conducted in witness to the resurrection and in celebration and remembrance of a life that has ended. Such services usually include praise and thanksgiving to God for the gift of a life, affirmation of our trust in God’s gift of life eternal in Jesus Christ, words of comfort to those who mourn, and the remembering of the life that has ended.

Our Instruments Sanctuary Org an From May through August 2005, a new pipe organ was installed and voiced in the sanctuary by Casavant Frères of St.-Hyacinthe, Québec. This instrument of four manuals and 118 ranks, with 6,288 pipes, is designed to reproduce faithfully the rich, vibrant, and thrilling sounds of 19th-century French organs, especially those of Aristide Cavaillé-Coll. The sanctuary organ is the gift of an anonymous donor in honor of former Senior Minister Dr. Herbert B. Anderson and his wife, Mary Lou S. Anderson. To view the complete specification, click here . Chapel Organ In November 1994, Guilbault-Thérien of St-Hyacinthe, Québec, was commissioned to build a new organ for our chapel of two manuals, 19 stops, and 26 ranks. By May 1996, the organ had been completely assembled, voiced and tuned in the chapel. The organ’s design was influenced by small French organs of the 19th century, especially the “orgues de choeur” whose purpose was to accompany choral singing.
