Register Now for Renewal of Vows on Village Green on June 25

The registration deadline has been extended to June 20 for a Renewal of Vows ceremony to be held on the Oak Lawn Village Green on June 25 from 6:30-8:30 pm. Anyone who would like to renew their marriage vows is welcome to register at www.pilgrimfaith.org or by contacting Pilgrim Faith Church at 708-422-4200. Pre-registration is required and is limited to the first 125 couples to sign up.

Rev. Peggy McClanahan, senior pastor of Pilgrim Faith United Church of Christ in Oak Lawn, will conduct the ceremony. Each couple will receive a certificate and a 4 by 6 photograph. Cake and punch will served after the ceremony while participants and their guests enjoy a live concert of love songs. The $25 registration fee includes the couple and up to five guests with a small extra charge for additional guests.

This event is part of a year-long celebration of Pilgrim Faith’s 125th Anniversary. They were founded in Oak Lawn in 1891. Pastor McClanahan explained that since Pilgrim Faith has always been very involved in Oak Lawn, the church wanted to do something for the community as part of their anniversary celebration. “We are hoping couples from all over Oak Lawn and the surrounding area will take part in this Renewal of Vows, not just those who have a connection to Pilgrim Faith,” she said.
