  1 Corinthians 13:4-8
  Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
• Jinkyung Park: Scripture Reading, Korean
  고린도전서 13장 4절-8절
  사랑은 오래 참고, 친절합니다. 사랑은 시기하지 않으며, 뽐내지 않으며, 교만하지 않습니다. 사랑은 무례하지 않으며, 자기의 이익을 구하지 않으며, 성을 내지 않으며, 원한을 품지 않습니다. 사랑은 불의를 기뻐하지 않으며, 진리와 함께 기뻐합니다. 사랑은 모든 것을 덮어 주며, 모든 것을 믿으며, 모든 것을 바라며, 모든 것을 견딥니다. 사랑은 없어지지 않습니다.
• [Music: My Heavenly Father watches over me] Singing: Stephen Tzeng

Translation:
Rev. Timoteo Myung-Soo Kim

Let us pray for the new family who is getting married today. Dear Lord, we praise your greatness and holiness.
God, your children who haven grown in your love, your daughter Christine and son Yongho stand here to form one family.
We thank you that they have met under your guidance and have grown together through love.
We thank you in leading them towards today’s ceremony, in front of God, the Church, both parents and relatives.
Christine and Yongho have lived in different families and different lives.
But you have led to them to serve God Creator, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
They stand here to leave their parents and unite as wife and as husband, in accordance to the Lord’s commandment and blessing, as one body, one family, starting a new life together.
Lord, accept this new family, and lead them, and bless them.
Lead the family to join in love, peace, consolation and happiness, always in the faith.
Let the spirit and body stand strong, and go forth to fulfill God’s mission and lead a fruitful life.
Let them be a family that brings joy to parents and grandparents, siblings and all families.
Bless them to establish God’s Kingdom, and let the family be the source of blessings to the churches they serve, and neighbors in their lives.
We seek grace for everyone present today in congratulation.
They are one body, and lead into the world.
Bless them to always be rooted in God’s Word and Faith, be it in the midst of difficulties or blessings, and to triumph in prayer.
Protect them to always walk with God.
In the name of Jesus Our Lord we pray, Amen.
