Welcome to Greendale Community Church.
We are glad that you have found your way to us, and that your wedding experience is a pleasant one.
As we prepare, together, for your wedding, we want to make sure that your love for each other, and God’s continual blessing and presence is reflected.
Rev. David J. Gaeth
THE CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE
Christian marriage is a high and holy relationship, set apart from the world of our time where individuals tend to use and abuse one another.
“Beloved, let us love one another
for love is of God.”
John 4:7
The relationship of husband and wife can be divine, part of the unfolding, sustaining process of God in history. It can be divine, it can be beautiful, if we share the kind of love which reflects the heart of God. Paul defined this love very clearly when he wrote to the church in Corinth:
“Love is patient and kind;
Love is not jealous or boastful.
It is not arrogant or rude.
Love does not insist on its own way.
It is not irritable or resentful.
It does not rejoice at wrong
But rejoices in the right.
Love bears all things,
Believes all things,
Hopes all things,
Endures all things.
Love never ends.”
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
PLANNING YOUR WEDDING
As soon as the two of you begin plans for your wedding, contact the Pastor. The Pastor will meet with you both for two or three pre-marriage counseling sessions. The Pastor will conduct the rehearsal will officiate at and perform the marriage ceremony.
MARRIAGE LICENSE APPLICATION
You apply for your license at the office of County Clerk of the County in which you reside, usually located in the courthouse. Application for license should be made not less than 7 days or more than 3 weeks before the date of marriage. Please visit the following website http://county.milwaukee.gov/GettingMarried2200.htm
