Pastors renew their vows

With their 30th wedding anniversary approaching, Pastor John was trying to think of something special for the celebration.  He hit on the idea of a service to renew their marriage vows staged in a similar way to the wedding.  He invited the same minister who originally married them to come to the church to officiate at the ceremony.  Their youth pastor and one of the original bridesmaids also came to the service.  It was a moving ceremony in which the two pastors read tributes to each other.  We were reminded of the importance of a strong marriage as John and Angela celebrated their anniversary together with us. After the ceremony everyone stayed for a buffet meal.
