Renewing the promise

Long term St James members, Abiola and Babalola, came to church today to thank God for their 20th wedding anniversary and to renew their wedding vows.

Here they are pictured with the cake in the brilliant Autumn sunshine before the service.

They recalled their promise to each other 'to have and to hold from that day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death us do part, according to God's holy law.' 

Then they said 'today in the presence of our family and friends, we affirm our continuing commitment to this vow.' Then we showed our support for them, as we prayed for them and applauded them.

And here they are with the rest of the family: every blessing to them all
