At key points in our life we come to major events or milestones - significant important events that may be marked by a party, a ceremony, or a particular service in church. These important events are known as ‘rites of passage’.

‘Passage’ suggests movement and journey as a ‘rite’ is a ritual or ceremony that helps us to make that movement and go on that journey.

We celebrate the birth of a child, deciding to be a Christian for ourselves, getting married and even death.
