Weddings
The facilities of First Congregational
Church are available for weddings
celebrating marriage as an act of Christian faith and worship. The
facilities are available to any couple desiring Christian marriage;
membership in the church is not a requirement.
You will be provided an opportunity to
work with your pastor to contribute elements to the wedding worship
service in accordance with your needs and in keeping with Christian
practice and good taste. Since the ceremony is an act of worship,
you are encouraged to prepare for the service with careful attention.
Your first appointment will be with our
wedding coordinator, Karen McCue, to tour the church and facilities
and discuss the procedures for weddings at First Congregational Church.
She will discuss the church’s guidelines and suggestions for the
wedding with you and will be present at both the rehearsal and the
wedding itself.
All weddings in our church must be coordinated
by the wedding coordinator. She will coordinate the rehearsal
and the wedding with you and the pastor.
Your
wedding date should be established well in advance of the event.
Weddings will be scheduled so that they do not conflict with other
church events.
Since scheduling your wedding date is
the first important step, printing invitations or finalizing other
plans should only be done after consulting the wedding coordinator.
Your next appointments will be
with the pastor selected to officiate at your wedding. It is your
responsibility to contact the pastor to schedule your pre-marital
consultations. These appointments should commence no later than six
weeks before the wedding date.
For more information email Karen
McCue,
our Wedding Coordinator, or call her at 508.429.1382.
