Our Church’s 16th Anniversary!!!

2024/12/7 Edited to

... Read moreChurch anniversaries are significant milestones that reflect the journey of a faith community over the years. Celebrating a 16th anniversary is not just about recognizing the past, but also about looking forward to the future and strengthening bonds among members. This special event often involves various activities such as a special service, community feasts, and shared memories, which foster a sense of belonging. In many churches, leaders might share inspirational messages about faith, resilience, and the importance of community, encouraging attendees to reflect on their personal journeys within the church. Planning these celebrations can vary widely based on church size and culture. Some might host an open house where members share their stories, while others might organize outreach efforts to connect with the wider community. Engaging music, heartfelt testimonies, and compelling narratives often characterize these gatherings. It's also common for churches to recognize long-standing members who have played pivotal roles throughout the years with special awards or acknowledgments during the service. In addition to celebrating the church's history, these anniversaries often serve as a reminder to embrace the future. Churches can use the occasion to unveil new initiatives or goals, strengthening communal ties and encouraging active participation in upcoming projects. As we gather for this special anniversary, let's come together in faith, joy, and celebration, committing ourselves to continue the mission and vision of our cherished community.

My Church Notes: “I Call It, Like I See It”
Yesterday’s word hit a little different…. For months, I’ve been saying I wanted to step up and serve, but if I’m being completely honest, I’ve been letting fear, pain, and my diagnosis sit in the driver's seat. I convinced myself I was just "waiting for the right capacity" or trying to

Today in Church we talked about John 15: 1:5, we learned that God is our branch and we are the vines. Without him we are nothing. We cannot grow properly without the proper pruning. Just like the in the ground the vine has to be lifted up, Jesus was lifted up on the cross at Calvary. Happy Sabbath!

The power of God is something we can never fully grasp but as soon as we get to heaven we will finally get to know him fully. All we will want to do is worship Him. His undying love for us is the most powerful thing and something we need to hold on to when we go through a difficult time! #bible &a
