RENEWAL OF WEDDING VOWS

Ken and Andrea Wheeler came to the Salvation Army today to renew their marriage vows, after twenty five years of marriage. In an informal, but meaningful service, over fifty people gathered to enjoy this time, where we thanked God not only for the Wheelers but for their family and friends as well. Hymns used were Jerusleum and Father hear the prayer we offer. Captain Susan opened the Word from Colossians 3 and spoke on the clothes to be worn by those in marriage. Captain Ian took the couple through their vows. Ken then spoke a little about their marriage, after which Captain Sue sang 'The Lord bless you and keep yoiu'. People stayed to enjoy refreshments afterwards and relaxed nicely at our church centre, many speaking on how warm they felt in sharing at our church, for which we thank God. We are grateful to Karen and Margaret who worked so hard to support in the kitchen. We pray for Ken and Andrea as they step into the future, and thank them for the opportunity that is ours to have shared in such a special event.
