On Saturday May 26, 2007 we had the very first wedding at NewPointe<\/span> Community Church. Steven LaCroix<\/span> & Brittany Brinkman<\/span> got hitched. It was a great day even though we had a storm outside during the service. We held the service in the KidStuf<\/span> theater and it worked very well. We had a black curtain installed that covers the entire set. It really transformed the room. What a great place for a wedding!<\/div>\n

I am so happy for Steve & Britt, what a great couple. They are blessed to have great families and friends that love them very much. I believe God has great plans for this couple. They both have a heart for the Lord and a love for each other that will carry them through the good times and the bad times.<\/div>\n

I love officiating at weddings, it is a great time to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and to remind all those present the importance of relationships. Weddings are a time for many people to reflect about their own marriages and relationships. It always reminds me of the vows I have made to my wife and how I need to be constantly working on our relationship. I shared three Biblical dance steps with them: Choose your words wisely, settle your disagreements and practice forgiveness. By practicing these dance steps they can dance a beautiful<\/span> dance together for many years to come.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

My prayer for Steven & Brittany is that they will seek God with all their heart, soul, mind and strength and that they will have the courage and wisdom to follow God’s plan for their lives.<\/div>\n

I also got to meet some people at the reception that I had not seen in a while. My wife Vikki and I had a fun time eating (a lot) and talking with people after the wedding. <\/div>\n

Bob LaCroix<\/span> the best man, and Steve’s dad, had a nice toast as did Brooke, Britt’s sister and Matron of Honor. You could tell they were sincere and honest. Randy, the father of the bride, also had a great toast as he said he hopes they have even a fraction of the great marriage he has had with his wife Julie (Isn’t that sweet).<\/div>\n

Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your special day. God Bless<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
