In preparing your program, you may use the following outline. You might want to include the title and composer of the music included in your ceremony (get the information from the musician) and the Scripture reference for each reading (e.g., Old Testament Reading ...........................Genesis 2:18-24), and the response for the Psalm (e.g., “The Lord is kind and merciful”). For a shorter version, you could use only the words in bold type.
