Fifty-Year Marriages

Fifty-Year Marriages

by Wayne Curry, Minister of Pastoral Care

A number of years ago when we were doing a lot of renovations around the church, we decided to renovate both the Bride and Groom Rooms. They turned out beautifully, and we have had many compliments from newlyweds. To decorate the walls, we invited members of our church who had been married 50 years or more to give us a wedding picture to frame. We thought it would be a wonderful way to inspire future brides and grooms! We quickly filled up the Bride’s Room, and we now have begun to fill up the Groom’s Room.

We know there are many more fifty-plus year marriages in our congregation, and we want to continue this tradition. If you have been married 50 years or more, we would love to have one of your wedding pictures, preferably 8×10. We will have it nicely framed with your names and the date of your marriage as seen to the right. If you have any questions, contact Wayne Curry at waynecurry@tumct.org or just bring your picture to the church office.
