Congratulations
on your decision to have a Holy Union! The clergy and staff of the Newport
Congregational Church are delighted that your relationship is mutually
fulfilling and that you are ready to make a lifelong commitment.
The
Reverends Mary Beth Hayes and Nan L Baker are ordained United Church of
Christ Clergy and are in good standing within the denomination. They both have
a very open and eclectic view of performing wedding service. In other words,
you have a lot of say in the design and liturgy of the service. Each service
is individually crafted accord-ing to your unique stories, traditions, faith
background, preferences, and views. Our goal is to provide you and your
family and friends with a service that meets your needs and is both memorable
and fun.

following web pages are designed to help you find needed information about
