On
Sunday, January 4, 2004 our congregation celebrated a major milestone of ministry.
In celebration of God’s tremendous graciousness and the retirement of
all our debts, during the Service of Worship burned our mortgage!
Our guest speaker during the service was Rev. William (Bill) Smith,
the founding pastor of our congregation.
Following the Service of Worship there was a special Celebration
Luncheon in which we were joined by over 150 present and former members
of the congregation as we remembered our roots and those who have worked tirelessly
to bring us to this day. As well we looked forward together to
the future of our ministry.
On this unique day we joyfully gave thanks to God. Where we
have come is because of His graciousness and blessing. Where we will
go into the future we pray will be according to His will. In all
things may He be glorified and honored.
