    2. We welcome our Guest Preacher of today, The Rt. Rev’d Dr. James Olusola Odedeji, Bishop of Lagos West Diocese, and appreciate him most sincerely for honouring our invitation and also for the soul-inspiring and life-transforming sermon that God has graciously used him to deliver this morning. God will continue to honour him and his entire household, water him and prosper his episcopal  ministry in Jesus name.

We appeal to them to fill the form given to them and to also wait briefly to see the ‘WELCOME TEAM” after this service. They are also enjoined to each take a copy of our bulletin for reference.
    5. Congratulatory felicitations to all the birthday celebrants of the week. We also congratulate all those who are having their wedding anniversaries this week.  We wish them all longevity, robust health,             sustained joy, divine peace and accomplishment in Jesus name.

  3. ECCLESIASTES 5: 4-6: when you make a vow to God, do not delay fulfilling it; for he has no pleasure in fools.  Fulfil what you vow.  It is better that you should not vow than that you should vow and not fulfil it.  Do not let your mouth lead you into sin, and do not say before the messenger that it         was a mistake; why should God be angry at your words, and destroy the work of your hands?

Please note that all members          of the Church are expected to celebrate their annual Family Harvests. Kindly liaise with the Admin’s Office or any of the Year 2017 Harvest Committee members for details.
  2. DRESSING OF BRIDES AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE BRIDAL TRAIN DURING WEDDING SERVICES: We use this medium to appeal to all parents and guardians whose children (daughters or daughters-in-law) will be getting married to teach them the dignity of decent dressing, especially during wedding services. By decent dressing, we mean that the wedding gowns and other wedding dresses should cover the entire body. Any indecent dressings during such occasions will be frowned at and the clergy will not take kindly to it. This is a very important notice that must be taken seriously by all our parishioners and   other worshippers because we will not compromise the Word of God for any reason.
