Dear Family and Friends,
Greetings in the blessed name of Jesus!
First and foremost, I would like to warmly welcome all our family and friends to church this weekend. Thank you so much for taking the time to worship God with us today as we celebrate our 8th Anniversary – remembering God’s unceasing faithfulness and goodness to us over the years! All of us at City Harvest have so much to be thankful for. From just a small cell group 8 years ago where we could only meet our own needs to being able to support world missions today, is a testament of God’s power at work among us.
As the pastor of the church, I want to thank all of you for your faithfulness and commitment. Your sacrifice is not in vain. What we do now I believe will echo in all eternity. Our hard work will be a blessing not just in this generation but also many more generations to come. Our children and our children’s children will reap the harvest of our giving. I know most of us are still young but I really want to impart a sense of eternity into your hearts - to learn to think of not just things temporal but also eternal. The values of our lives increase the moment we focus on the hope of our salvation. It brings peace and hope to all those around us.
And as we journey along this path of loving and serving God and people, may I also take this opportunity to encourage you to enjoy every bit of the journey. This is going to be a long haul. So, let’s learn to enjoy each other’s company as we share our lives and our works together. Do not take your ministry as work but a privilege. Do not take your members as tasks but genuine friendships that will both shape and change our lives. With this renewed mindset, I believe we can run many more years together!
So, let’s celebrate and enjoy all that God has given to us.
Have a happy, blessed and memorable 8th Anniversary City Harvesters!
Love you all heaps and let’s keep on running,
KEV
