GETTING MARRIED AT ST. FRANCIS
At St. Francis Lutheran Church, we rejoice in the happiness you have found in one another, and we commend you for seeking the counsel and guidance of the church as you make preparations for a Christian wedding. A Christian wedding is a worship service. The service of Marriage from Evangelical Lutheran Worship is the framework for the order of worship for weddings at St. Francis Lutheran Church, which is designed to provide flexibility. Modifications should be discussed with the pastor.
When you are married or joined in holy union, you will be asking for God’s blessing and encouragement in your new life together. You should consider the witness you will be offering to your family and friends on that day, with careful thought and consideration given to every aspect of your wedding. You will do this planning together with the pastor. You and your guests will be coming together that day to offer thanks and praise to God for the love you share. The service in which you will be wed will be a Christ-centered act of worship, invoking the love of God that will support and sustain you in your life together.
