Weddings, Baptisms, Funerals
Weddings, baptisms and funerals are know as "occasional offices of the Church of England". This is because for any one person they will happen only occasionally. Usually these occasional services take place in your local church, though baptisms and funerals can be arranged in any of our churches. New rules also now make it easier to get married in the church of your choice.
Your first point of contact is the Curate, Rev'd Norman Steer 01379 854245, or one of the other priests - Rev'd Paul Schwier 01379 676240 and Rev'd John Adlam 01379 741200.
If you would like to find out more about these services in the Church of England click on one of the links below.
Any of our priests, Norman, Paul, or John, will help you to prepare for your big day with a special Course. Each has his own unique way of delivering this and you should talk to your chosen priest about it.
If you are interested in a more formal marriage preparation, which can be taken at any time, even after you are married, ask for the "Marriage Preparation Course"
For details of The Marriage Preparation Course click here. Call 01379 741200 or john@adlams.net for more details.
There will be some conservation work taking place in Pulham Market church in summer 2010. There will be scaffolding in the church near the arch for approx 6 weeks. This work will be carried out in June & July and could have an impact on Wedding bookings. The church will be usable while the scaffolding is up but obviously won’t look as good as it might. There is a wedding already booked for 14th August and the PCC will make sure the work is finished before that date.
