Celebrating 149 Years of God’s Faithfulness
|
|
|
|
Last Sunday, we gathered with joy and gratitude to mark our 149th Church Anniversary—a beautiful milestone in our journey as a church family. The service was a heartfelt reflection on God’s unwavering faithfulness through the generations.
Gary encouraged us to respond to that faithfulness by allowing ourselves to be moved by God, to build our lives on His firm foundation, and to nurture a spirit of community that welcomes and uplifts all.
After the service, we continued the celebration with a bring-and-share meal—a true feast of flavours and fellowship! It was a delight to taste such a variety of dishes and to enjoy one another’s company.
Here’s to 149 years of grace—and to the next chapter, rooted in faith, unity, and love!
