I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate all of the work and thoughtful effort you have put into this site. I have been researching the internet for quite some time now gathering information on how to become a wedding minister. It was important to me to become ordained through a Christian ministry, so it took awhile to find one I was comfortable with. Now I am looking for information on how to perform all duties necessary to create a memorable wedding for my clients. I have found several officiant training courses online but they are too expensive for me at this time. I was so happy to find your site with information and checklists. Now, if I could just get over the first time jitters, I would be fine.(lol)
I am sorry to hear that you are dealing with some health issues right now. We are praying for you. Thank you again for all of the terrific information. I am going to give that Weebly website project a shot, wish me luck!

Donna, thank you for your lovely comment and for your prayers. I appreciate it so much! Sorry for my delayed reply... ups and downs of chemo but the Lord is always with me giving me comfort and I am so grateful for that. It is normal to have first time jitters but once you get past it and you feel that this is the ministry for you then I believe you will be empowered by the Holy Spirit and you will be fabulous. When we step out in faith God always increases us and our abilities. I am so glad you have started a Christian Wedding Ministry and I will be praying for you. Good luck with your website project; a website for an officiant is very important and you will most likely get much of your business through contacts from your site.Thanks again for all your encouragement and your appreciation of the website, it means a lot to me. Thanks, blessings to you!
