Married couples have a chance to renew their wedding vows during services at 8 a.m. 10:45 a.m. and 5 p.m. today at Trinity Lutheran Church, 1480 Douglas Ave., Gardnerville.
"Marriage has taken a hit with divorce, same-sex marriage and living together being a revolutionary lifestyle," said the Rev. Russell H. Howen. "Marriage is a planned blessing of God for a lifetime relationship of husbands and wives. However, couples daily need to commit themselves to each other. That's the reason for the renewal of marriage vows Sunday."
Couples will stand before the altar for the renewal of vows.
Howen will base his message, "Marriage, Divorce and Children," on the Gospel for the day, Mark 10:2-16, at the 8 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. services.
Jonathan Cleveland, director of Christian education, speaks on the theme "Desperate Housewives and Their Spouses" at the 5 p.m. contemporary service. Information, 782-8153.
