Scripture readings provide a foundation for worship. They serve to reflect God’s unbreakable covenant with us as a model for marriage. The Pastor will happily discuss them with you. We provide the following list of suggested readings for your convenience. Members of the wedding party, relatives or friends may read. Alternatively, you may ask the Pastor to read them. We recommend that you choose up to three different readings for your marriage service, drawing from both the Old and New Testaments.
