My Father's Prayer at James & Natalie's Wedding


I was fortunate that my dad saved his copy of the words he said at JJ & Natalie's wedding. I think they reflect well the kind of man he was and what I still strive to be.


This is a time of blessing.

Natalie and JJ – be assured that you have the total blessing of your parents,
That you have the blessing of your grandparents,
And the blessing of your siblings,
That you have the blessing of your relatives and your many friends,
And that you have the blessing of two great congregations
That of the Grace Community Church of Chelmsford and Randall Memorial Baptist here.

But what we want most of all is the blessing of God – so let us pray.

We beseech you our Lord God Almighty…

  • Infinite in Sovereignty
  • Infinite in Wisdom
  • Infinite in Mercy
  • Infinite in Grace
  • Infinite in Love
  • And infinite in Holiness…


For your complete blessing upon Natalie and JJ as they become One and trod the path of service in good works that you in your ever present now have already ordained for them.
As we prepare to worship, anoint all with your glorious presence and may this service remind us once again of our Lord Jesus Christ as the bridegroom to gather His bride the church.

God bless us in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
