We will be married by the Reverend Gilbert Caldwell of Asbury United Methodist Church in Atlantic City.

He is a retired United Methodist Minister who participated in the "Mississippi Freedom Summer" of 1964, the Selma to Montgomery March in 1965, and the March on Washington.

We have enjoyed services at Asbury over the past couple of weeks and plan to continue attending as "Friends of Asbury." Everyone there has been incredibly welcoming and kind, especially Reverend Caldwell and his wife, Grace. We look forward to developing our relationship with the church.
