Wedding of Mandee Jakel and Mike Voelz
On Saturday, April 29, Mandee Jakel and Mike Voelz were united in marriage before God and witnesses. They were encouraged in their marriage by the words of God from Colossians 3:12-14. Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. May God bless their new life together and lead us all to appreciate our Lord’s love and forgiveness and we daily put on his love.
