Baden, Ont.
August 31 was a Sunday of new beginnings at Shantz Mennonite Church. Students were thinking about the first day of school, teachers were gearing up for a new school year, and Eric Scott and Roxana Sudrijan were married during the worship service.
Scott and Sudrijan met at work and began attending Shantz church a year ago. After their engagement, they met with pastor Jim Loepp-Thiessen for premarital counselling. Both expressed a desire for a small, simple wedding. The idea of a Sunday morning wedding appealed to them.
The worship service focused on living our lives in harmony with God and with one another. Then came the marriage ceremony, with a more specific focus on the couple. The celebration continued with a potluck lunch.

Scott and Sudrijan expressed gratefulness for the opportunity to begin their life together in a celebration that included a few family members, friends and the larger church family. (Most of Sudrijan's family lives in her native Romania.)
This morning of new beginnings was a wonderful way to welcome a season of renewed commitment and service.
