24th Church Anniversary
It really calls for a great celebration, when we realize our church is Twenty-four (24) years old. It has only be God all along for the years of the Church.
Journey of thousands miles start with a step. The earlier we get it started, the earlier we get suceeded at the end of the it. It's just like a joke when the church started, but now it's now something people come to worship in, and even call upon God to answer their prayers.
Anniversaries mostly comes ones a year, with a great celebration. Doings an anniversary is a good and essential thing, because it's a means of Thanksgiving for how far that particular one thing has gone and how well, it has been all along. See my Church attaining 24 years of age, it's not a easy thing at all, if not for the mercy and Grace God has showered on us all.
Brief church History
I have been talking about my church, but I haven't made mention about the name of my church so y'all can try to attend someday! This awesome church is named "Christ Apostolic church (C.A.C) God of sustainant" I know some individuals can eventually shock me and attend my church to confirm how beautiful it is. Those members which are first timers don't even want to taste another church anymore because my church is the best, lol😁. Having said all these! Below are how the church came up and how it became known to the populace of the community and the state at large.
The Church was established and commissioned by one of the late executive of CAC church worldwide named "Pastor Ibitoye" This pastor was the one who launched the church after being established, with powerful prayers, that the church should have a solid stance in the community and that it can be recognized.
The church was established on "7th of July 1998" just like a joke it's now 24 years of age, though time waits for no man, time have no moment to waste, it keep going on, even though you aren't ready.
The church was lifted from a mere "District" to an "Assembly" a great joy comes in when the church is progressing and getting well known by people. This took effect as far back "11th February 2010".
The church progressed again to attain the post of being a "Zone" Zone in this sense, means governing over other churches in different areas. When a church us regarded as a "Zone" that means the church can control both District churches and Assembly churches. That's signifies the power of being a Zone. The beauty of the church is, seeing the church progressing each day. That's just the joy of the church. And also winning more souls into the church.
After collecting the Zone, the Church then built another church to accommodate enormous multitude for easy worship of church members. The old former building was then renovated to be used by the children of the Church. What a wonderful church I have, with lot of planning.
Church Anniversary in Proper!
Boom!!! Here comes the anniversary in proper. We attended Church today being the second Sunday of the month of July. The church announcer has already announced the date which the church Anniversary is coming up, which is today. We give thanks to God for, the day has come in peace. Since I have been attending my church, today was the day we waited more than we have being waiting.
Appointment of New Deaconesses
The pastor of the church decided to appoint the church Deaconesses today. Though we have church Deaconesses before, which they are up to 15 in number, but the pastor and the curate pastor has come together to appoint additional Deaconesses In the church. They are planned to be in white colour
Here's the photo on how they were inaugurated.
Church choir
Here are the church choristers signing in chorus, I snap them from my sitting stance. Each member of the choir group wore the same cloth. Though I'm a chorister but I haven't been roping long ago for some reason which aren't too genuine. Laziness and lack of dedication 🙈
Towards the Benediction!
Towards sharing the Benediction, we all stood up singing from our gospel hymn book "Various 26" "Higher I go" our love for this song ehnn, it's a very interesting song. We all love to sing it, because but young and old knows the song offhand.
Conclusion
When a particular thing is getting old, it really calls for a great celebration. The celebration of our church has began and has eventually come to a close
