WEDDING GUIDELINES

              The buildings and grounds of Memorial UMC are dedicated to God for the sacred purpose of worship, education, fellowship, and service to the community. Please help us keep the facilities dignified and beautiful by observing these guidelines.  In order that you may have a sacred and dignified wedding ceremony, you are urged to make thorough preparations. Specific plans for the ceremony should be discussed with the minister during pre-marital counseling sessions. The ceremony should be planned with care and carried out with reverence as it is a service of worship. The beauty of the ceremony is not determined by the elaborateness of the decorations, but rather by the spirit of love, trust, and faithfulness in the attitude of the participants. These policies have been prepared with these thoughts in mind. Please be sure and give a copy of these guidelines to your wedding coordinator, caterer, decorator and/or florist.
