"What God has joined together . . ."

In preparing for a wedding, there are certain fees, professional and otherwise. At the time you reserve the wedding and rehearsal dates on the church calendar, a $100 non-refundable deposit is required. The balance of all applicable fees is due one week before the date of the wedding. Checks are made payable to " First Lutheran Church." Non First Lutheran staff soloist and instrumental remuneration are paid directly to the individual(s).

First Lutheran has projection capabilities in the main sanctuary of the church. If couples wish to provide a PowerPoint presentation of pictures to be projected 15 to 20 minutes prior to the start of the service, they must burn a complete presentation on a CD and deliver it to the church at least one week in advance of the wedding. Pictures that are inappropriate to be shown in worship space honoring God will not be permitted, and the church reserves the right to edit the presentation. A member of the Multimedia Team of First Lutheran is responsible for the projection on the day of the wedding.
