At baptism, man becomes a member of the church. Being a member of God’s family, the baptized person is called to grow in faith, to know God, and to follow the teachings of Jesus. At the baptism of the child, the parents and godparents commit themselves to raising the child in the Christian faith. The baptism is delivered to the Father in the name of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Clean water is used for crossing, which is put on the baptismal head. The child may be baptized already in the first months of life. There are no age limitations for adult baptism. When a person has reached the camp and has remained unbaptized as a child, his or her baptism takes place with the confirmation. Exceptionally, a godparent may also belong to another denomination. An adult may also have a godparent, but it is not obligatory. The task of the godparent is to help the family (in the absence of parents, if necessary) instead of bringing the child to Christianity so that the baptized child can receive baptismal instruction and grow in godliness and love. The godparent is witnessing the baptismal service and can prove, if necessary, that his crucifix is ​​baptized. The godparent gives the service a promise to pray for the godfather and to help him with his word and example so that he can remain a living member of the Christian Church, loving God and neighbor as Christ has taught us. The Church, for its part, supports the religious growth of the child through child and youth work, and through the school. It is also possible to baptize at home or another suitable place. The time and place of baptism is agreed with the baptismal cleric. Before baptism, it is advisable for parents and godparents to meet a clergyman with a baptized child. Baptismal service is suitable for the baptismal service. It is advisable to apply for baptism in the congregation of your place of residence. If a child’s or adult’s life is in danger and his or her baptism is desired, another baptized person can do it. This kind of baptism is called emergency evangelism, and it is later confirmed by the church teacher. For children, it is possible to use a baptismal dress, for adults there are white long baptisms used in many congregations. Preferably, it is a cross with a precious metal (silver or gold) that is blessed by the service and placed on the neck. In the case of children, the collar is often also a gift from the godparents. What happens if I do not remember my baptism? Baptism applies even if one cannot remember his baptism himself. If one does not know for sure whether he is baptized or not, and it is not possible to check it out from anywhere, so-called condemnation may be carried out.

The worship service is not a sacrament in the Lutheran Church, but belongs to the baptismal doctrine. In earlier times, the camp has meant the confirmation of baptism as a child. Here’s another name – Confirmation (Confirmation). Today, the camp is mainly for people who have not been baptized before. This is how baptism takes place in the same worship service, or on some of those previous days, with the flaming of the camp. Leer can come from the age of 15.

Confession is a prerequisite for getting a bundle, baptizing your children, or being a godparent for the children of others. Graduates of the Leer School receive a certificate of proof.

What’s going on in the camp?
Leer holds a camp course, or a camp, where basic knowledge of Christianity is acquired. The Leerikool is organized by a local congregation in its area and is usually taught by a local clergyman.

How long is the camp school?
The length of the school is dependent on the local church and the clergyman. In most cases, camp schools are from two months to six months. In some places, longer. The longer the camp school, the more thorough the acquired knowledge. The Leerikool ends with a camping or confirmation service.

What is Campfire?
Warping is a service in which people who have passed through a college school admit their Christian faith with the words of the apostolic religion and affirm their will to live according to the doctrine of Christianity. The clergyman then blesses each camp by placing his hands on his head and making each one across the cross.

How to go to the camp?
To go to the camp, you should contact the Lutheran congregation closest to your place of residence and investigate when the camp will begin. In so many smaller congregations, the times of the camp school are not fixed and depend on whether there are wills. Individual camp lessons are also prepared in many places.

How much does the camp cost?
It is appropriate to make a donation to the congregation for the Leerikool, and since the end of the camp, the person becomes a member of the congregation, and the first church member’s donation should also be considered on the day of the camp. Our church has an recommended donation rate of 1% of income. For example, for a net wage of € 500, the donation is € 5 per month, ie € 60 per year.

Singing is a church marriage ceremony with which a man and a woman take each other in front of witnesses and God’s face as spouses. The singing takes place in the church, in the chapel or in another suitable place. It is natural that long-established, but unmarried, couples still let themselves be singed to ask God’s blessing for their common life. if the woman had been baptized and confessed and the marriage could be registered nationally. The marriage is preceded by a clergyman’s meeting with the young couple, and the clergyman always has the opportunity to refuse the marriage when he sees that those who wish to marry are not ready for this step. If a couple has previously divorced marriages, they must be prepared to explain to the clergyman the reasons for the breakage of earlier marriages, and to listen to the clergy’s explanations of marriage as a life-long union. It can also be canceled if the marriage plans fail. With the desire to sing, it is appropriate to turn to the Lutheran congregation teacher of the place of residence and talk to him about the desire for marriage. If the marriage does not take place in the church of your church, you must agree with the church and the clergyman in whose area the place of marriage is located. A clergyman with such rights can also enter into a national marriage with the wedding service. When registering separately, the wedding service can only be delivered after registration.How much does the marriage cost? In many congregations, the recommended donation is fixed by the congregation’s board. In addition to the costs associated with the marriage (use of the church, organ, clerical and hostess work), the state fee must also be taken into account in the case of state registration. Silver, gold, and other weddings are sacred to celebrate both married couples and unmarried marriages. In the latter case, the blessing of the marriage takes place with the gratitude service and the prerequisite is that the couple is baptized and confessed.

The Eucharist is the second sacrament of the Lutheran Church. There the person receives the body and blood of Jesus Christ, in the form of bread and wine, sanctified by the consecrated Eucharist, that is, himself. Unlike baptism, the Eucharist is a multiple sacrament, and it is advisable to participate as often as possible. The Eucharist is the spiritual theme of the Church member, the food that is needed to grow in the knowledge and experience of God. Who can come to the Eucharist? It is important that the person is aware of what the Eucharist is all about. A baptized child can come to the communion with his parents or godparents if the meaning of the Eucharist is explained to him. A member of the baptized and confessed church can go to the Eucharist for every Lutheran church in Estonia and abroad. The Eucharist does not cost anything. How to receive the Eucharist? There are different ways to receive the Eucharist and sometimes depend on the practice of the church. Mostly Lutheran churches come to the altar and kneel.

The cups and plates used for the Eucharist must be clean, there is a sufficient amount of lines for cleaning the Eucharist items, so that the hands of the people involved in the division are clean and pre-disinfected. For whom it seems difficult to drink from a common cup, you can cover your bread with a cup.How to get the last grace? A concept like “last grace” is not known in our church. There is, however, a sickness of the sick, delivered in hospitals, nursing homes, sick homes, and elsewhere, where there are people who, for their health reasons, cannot come to church for communion. In this case, it is appropriate to invite the clergyman to consecrate home to the Eucharist. For more information on this, see Winning Sick and Dead.

The Christian Church declares that Jesus won the finality of death, and that believers in Him are once awakened by the resurrection of the body and eternal life. This testimony is shared by the Church at the funeral service, comforting the mourners and praying to God in this hope. Who can bury? In case of doubt, if a parade has the authority of a church, it should be asked from the local church. Those who perform so-called church burials without the authority of the church are not legitimate, even if they use a church burial procedure.How and where to be buried? In the case of a multi-part funeral, the home or other suitable place for the deceased may start with the dispatch service, trusting in the church and burial in the cemetery. They can also be joined by prayer after death and by putting a piece of wood on their feet and followed by a snake. In the music and structure of the burial service, changes can always be made according to the wishes of loved ones. Before the funeral service, a meeting with the funeral clergyman will be held with whom the music of the funeral service will be agreed, the biography of the deceased will be spoken and its meaning to the loved ones. It is also agreed whether and how the imaging service will take pictures of how to move in the processions, and whether and when the wooden log will be opened. The incense will be buried in an officially registered graveyard. It is important to take into account in the case of burial that it is easy for loved ones to come to tidy up the grave. Is it possible to cremate the deceased? In the case of cremation, the dispatching office may take place both before and after incineration. In the case of destruction, it is important that the urn can be buried as soon as possible after arrival or placed as possible in a urn wall or columbar.When he left to commemorate? In many places, the first remembrance of the deceased takes place on Sunday after the funeral worship. It is becoming more common for the old practice to leave the remembrance for another 40 days after his death. On the following Sunday, a candle is burned in the church for his memory, and the prayer of the soul is read. It is appropriate for the loved ones to come to the church to commemorate themselves. In the future, it is appropriate to commemorate the departed every year on the anniversary of his birth and death, and on the cemetery of the cemetery where he is buried.

The prayer is a ghostly service in which a person, in the presence of a clergyman, confesses his mistakes to God and, in the event of repentance, takes spiritual forgiveness of sins. We are all on the road to perfection, we are sinners and erroneous, and therefore we need all the experience of forgiveness. Although each worship also has a common peak, the special apostasy allows you to look deeper and gain a very personal and intimate experience of forgiveness. In addition, there is a possibility for a longer breath-taking conversation before or after the private yard. However, a private and suitable place in a church or some other place is considered a yard service. The ministry is accepted by a clergyman who has a duty to keep boss secret. This means that nothing must be heard by anyone at third parties.How to beat it? You have to name your specific sins in the yard without looking for reasons or excuses. Wherever possible, you should meet your yoke before the first point, who will give you instructions for preparing for the yard. Who can walk in the yard? However, every person, regardless of his or her religious beliefs, has the right to come to church to ask for a soulful conversation.
