Church to host wedding renewal service
Grace United Methodist Church in Coal Center will host a renewal of wedding vows service at 10 a.m. Sunday, with Pastor Ken Custer officiating the service for 18 couples with years of marriage ranging from 4 years to 64 years.
Guests of honor that day will be Sam and Ruth Levy, who celebrated 64 years of marriage on June 12.
Several congregation members displayed their wedding gowns in the church library, and Tom Sullivan of Scenery Hill loaned a Navy and Army uniform.
