Fram the Peston 6 9 Greetings in the Matchless Name of Jesus Christ! It is by God’s grace and mercy that we have come this far. Today, we gather thank God for allowing us to endure life’s trials and tribulations and _ to join us in this historical event. It is a great joy when the saints come toget to praise and worship our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Glory be to God for blessing and keeping us for 85 years. We are sincerely thankful that the New Zion seeds were sown in good soil, for God has blessed them to come to harvest. So today, we humble ourselves before the one and only God and honor Him for what He has done, for what He is currently doing and for what He will do in the future. For He is able to do exceedingly and abundantly above all that we can ever ask, or think, according to the power that worketh in us. [t is our prayer, as we remain steadfast and keep our hands in God’s hand, that we will continue to see His sovereignty and be a Christian congregation who systematically ministers to meet the needs of the “total person” spiritually, socially, economically and physically as we go forth in all that God has ordained us to accomplish. This endeavor truly encompasses our church mantra for the last 85 years, “The Church Built By Faith” and our mission statement, “We are servants of the wise and unwise, indebted to worship, educate, proclaim and minister th fellowship of Christian faith until it covers the earth.” Praise be to God from whom all blessings flow!
