Weddings !

Over the past while a number of our folk have been married. Here are some photos to remind you of these wonderful members of our church community!
On the left you can see Adam and Laura Barker (nee Diedericks). They both grew up in this community and served in various leadership roles here and in other churches. Adam continues to serve his call as a Youth Pastor and Laura will make sure he does it properly ! Laura was very involved with our youth and led the teenagers in our Children's Church. She was also voted in as a Society Steward and served in this capacity for two years.
May God bless and guide you both as you continue to serve God's call in your lives together.
And then there were more . . . .
Not done yet . . . .
And then there was Claire. She wanted someone she could look up too (well if he can do puns so can I) and found Riley!
Claire and her family have long been members of our church and Claire was a member of the Sunday School and Youth, eventually serving for a number of years as a Sunday School Teacher.
She served in this capacity until work commitments took her to other areas and she could no longer fulfill this task.
May you continue to live in God's love and joy.
Jason and Eileen were married with Jason so in love that he even wore a skirt! Oh, sorry, the Scots call it a kilt. They were both involved in our community with the youth ministry - Jason being employed as our Youth Pastor for a number of years. He also inspired many of our young folk musically and has left a rich tradition of worshipping young people here at Bellville Methodist. Jason has a wonderful worship leading gift which he shared with us.
Talking of Youth Pastors getting married ! Chantelle (our Youth Pastor) and Clint Burrows (our part-time Children's Pastor) were married recently. They continue to serve here and we wish them all that they desire for themselves as they serve God and God's people.
May you all be blessed with God's love for you and each other.
