The Church Service
It is another blessed Sunday and as usual, it would be marked with a service, the Church Service. The Church Service not only signify a regular gathering of people on Sunday to hear God's word... the Church Service signifies the embodiment of power and authority that has been bestowed on the Church by God. Not any building, infrastructure or construction that has false followers in it, even it be a tent filled with people who knows God's word and are true followers ... it is a Church. I am not indepth in the teachings of the Lord but I know and understand what they mean, pardon my excesses.
The order of today's article would be the Annual Thanksgiving we celebrate in my Church. It is done every January of the year and any week from the month of January can be picked for the occasion. This year Annual Thanksgiving is taking place today, the 30th of January 2022 in my Church of worship. We are all dressed and on cue with radiant dresses and facial expressions beaming with excitement and joy as we get to celebrate another year of the Lord keeping us alive to continue further in the spread of the Gospel. Notwithstanding, we had losses of life in the previous year of 2021 from the Church gathering, people of old age. I just got to rejoin the Church back as I am on a holiday from College but would try going back this week as we have resumed academic session in College, i attend another Church in College but with similar doctrines to my parent Church.
To fill you in on today's event, I will be sharing pictures with you and hopefully you will join us in the aura of rejoice and praises through the pictures. We normally start the day with prayers, then we advance to Sunday School services where we are taught the word of God from a printed pamphlet that is to run through to the end of the year. After the Sunday School, we move on to the main auditorium where we prepare for the Service at hand. The Pastor in Charge mount the podium and says some word of encouragement and upliftment while backing with the word of God, he then hands the microphone down to the coordinator of the day's event who will direct it. A trend that has been going on for years on the Annual Thanksgiving day is that respective family names are called out and they and all their kindred come to celebrate and rejoice on the altar. We would get to dance and eat and jolly. The Annual Thanksgiving day is always a day of joy, nothing more nothing less; joy of life, joy of progress, joy of prosperity.
---AND THE WHOLE CHURCH WOULD SAY, AMEN! ---
To mention, I am the drummer of the event lol. Well, it was impromptu, the main drummer seems to be late for some reasons and ol' shy me had to be picked from the crowd - well, they knew I was an old member and they recognised my face too well even though I had been gone for almost a year. I would try my best and not to disappoint myself and as well all my read.cash friends as I am not that a fluent drummer.
I don't have enough pictures but help do with those, more might come next time. I wish you all a happy Sunday and many more years and prosperity to come.
I bet your a good drummer and anyway those food they looks yummy, are those chicken meat?
