What Does The Church Anniversary Mean To You?
We asked various members of the church [elders, children, new members, etc.] what does celebrating our upcoming church anniversary mean to them. Here are a few responses:
"Celebration of the upcoming church anniversary provides a time to reflect on the growth and progress of the church. It is a time to thank God for His help in the maintenance of the ministry and His gifts to our pastors. What God ordains, God maintains. Celebration for the anniversary also gives hope for the future of this church and an expectation of fulfillment of God's promise to His children."
-Elder Melvin-
"Celebration of the upcoming church anniversary means a time to rejoice and to give God the glory for sustainment in the body of Christ; our church. I think about all the elders, evangelists, leaders, seniors, members, guest speakers, and visitors who have embraced our pastors' vision and their special anointments to desire to worship at LFWC. To know that our church had a very humble beginning makes me proud to know Pastor Wade and First Lady Shirley. This upcoming month will be our first year with the church." We love you-Happy 13th Anniversary!!!!! n

"God"
When I was alone and had nothing I asked for a friend to help me bear this pain, no one came except . . . God. When I needed a break to rise from my sleep, no one could help except . . .God. When all I saw was sadness and needed answers, no one heard me except . . .God. So when I am asked who I give my unconditional love to, look for no other name except God!!! n
