Vows Renewed

This past Sunday, our friends Viri and Oscar renewed their marriage vows during the service.

It’s been 5 years since their wedding! And there is now a third person in the family – their son Josué. 🙂

Shari and I had the priviledge to lead a time of worship (along with the rest of the music team), and we had the same songs that we led five years ago. As I shared on Sunday – this was our normal Sunday service, but not so normal! Normal because even at their wedding, Oscar and Viri wanted to sing worship songs, and hear God’s Word preached, and so as they renewed their vows we did it again at our normal worship service.

They exchanged rings – again – a ring or two may possibly have gone missing over those five years, so this was important. Some of the same symbols were presented, typical of a Mexican wedding. The Gospel was preached. And Oscar and Viri threw a party for everyone afterwards!

But essentially it was a time to celebrate God’s faithfulness in their lives, and to talk again about the importance of the covenant of marriage.

And a good time was had by all!

Please continue to pray for these and so many other families in our church. The days are evil, but God is great.
