HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes-Advocate, 1986-06-18, Page 13Page 12 Times-AdvoCate, June 18, 1986 Couples renew marriage vows. Approximately one hundred people joined together in reaffirming their marriage covenant at Hensall United Church on Sunday morning before a capacity congregation. Carl and Hilda Payne welcomed the congrega- tion and Mr. McDonald conducted the Service of Renewal. The church was beautifully decorated in pink and white peonies, orange blossoms and candelabra. The senior choir sang "The Lord's Prayer" with arrangements by Ruth Keys Kennerty, and Belva Fuss sang as a solo the old favourite at so many weddings in the past "O Perfect Love". During the reaffirmation of vows Betty Jinks sang the very ap- propriate The Wedding Song and The Wedding Prayer. Following the reaf- firmation she sang Through The Eyes of Love. Ron and Kay Mock, representing the couples reaffirming their love, read the scriptures from 1 Corinthians 13 and 1 John chapter 15. Mr. McDonald read the poem "Loving Deeply" by Leland Foster Wood. For the children's time Mr. McDonald told the story of Roger Rope and Rita Rope and how God had joined them together in marriage called "A knotty marriage." • For the message he spoke on the subject of "Love and Marriage Goes Together like a Horse and Carriage." He stressed that Christian love stems from the fact that we believe that God is love. When speaking about love in marriage he said "in the Christian context the covenant is made not bet- ween man and woman who join hands and speak. It is always made in the awareness that God surrounds the covenant and makes it binding." Ushers for the day were Lloyd Ferguson, Donald Stebbins and Jim Parsons. The congregation were reminded that the Bridal Fashion Show of wed- ding clothes over the century would be held in the Hensall Public School auditorium, and that next Sunday our Service would be At 10:30 a.m. in the Hensall Arena as we worship with those attending the Fiddlers contest. Following the service a reception was held in the Fellowship Hall catered b the UCW. The hall was also decorated inpink and white. The long luncheon table was covered in pink and white cloths, centered with a wedding cake and pink tapers. Much appreciation goes to Mary Lou Hyde and her committee for making the arrangements for this very meaningful day.
