Mike & Kath 50th Wedding Anniversary

Date: 5th April 2008
Venue: Aston Court

Mike & Kath was having their 50th Wedding Anniversary and our
choirteam was invited to present a few songs. Mike & Kath got
married on 1958 (wow... i haven't borned yet......) and they have
2 sons and a daughter.They are a lovely couple...... especially the wife....
always a broad smile on her face....

Mike greeted Nelson & I at the entrance with a hug. Then, Nelson
introduced me to Mike. Nelson told him that we just got married
for 6 months.... and Mike said," ooooh..... you still have 49 and 1/2
years to go...... hahahahahhahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
49 and 1/2 years........ wow......hahahaha!!!!

The ceremony started off with welcoming speech by their eldest
son, then followed by a hymn (blessed be the ties that bind)
Then, their grandson (Sam) read us a bible verse (2 John 4-6)
while Paul & WuXi read us Philipians 2:1-12.
After the bible reading, their daughter in law (Denise) and their
grandaughter (Beth) sang a lovely song named "At the cross".
Then, Mike & Kath took their vows. It was followed by the choir
song presentation. We sang 3 songs
i) Amazing Grace
ii) How Great Thou Art
iii) In His Time
Kath shed tears when we sang "Amazing Grace". I think she truly
experienced God's amazing grace in her marriage life.

After the song presetation, their youngest son, Mark gave a
short talk and thank their parents for their love. The ceremony
then ended with a closing prayer by their grandaughter.

After every ceremony, there's always food to eat.... hahaha!!!!!
We were blessed to have a lot of western and chinese cuisine.
haha..... I think this is Nelson's favourite time.........hahahah!!!!!giu

I thank God for this wonderful couple. Although i do not know them
very much, but God has used them to bless a lot of people, especially
the Chinese. They have adpoted a Chinese girl and they love Chinese.
May God continue to bless them and their families.

The length of our days is seventy years- or eighty, if we have
the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they
quickly pass, and we fly away................................
Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart
of wisdom. (Psalms 90: 10, 12)
