Wedding Bulletin Guide

Sometimes a church bulletin is desired for the wedding ceremony.   Local Christian book stores and printing companies offer a variety of church bulletins printed with colorful covers specifically for weddings.  The Church Office can also order and prepare wedding bulletins.  All bulletins should carry the phrases: "No flash photography permitted during the service" and "Please turn off or silence all cell phones and pagers."   For those planning on having bulletins printed, the proper order and "wording" of the liturgy for the worship service follows:
