GREETINGS AND FELICITATION

    1. All glory, honour and praises to God for His faithfulness and goodness that have hitherto preserved all of us.  We welcome all our parishioners and other worshippers at this service. God will surround all of us with His presence and favour, and also steadily and with Divine speed fulfill His purposes in our lives and families in Jesus name.
    2. We welcome all our eminent guests (first timers) very specially and pray that God will orchestrate unusual testimonies in their lives and families 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.
    3. 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.
    4. Appreciation- RE: 2017 PROFESSIONALS’ HARVEST: We once again bless God for the success recorded at our Year 2017 Professionals’ Harvest last Sunday.

  5. 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?

  7. FAMILY HARVEST/THANKSGIVING:  God expects each family to appear before Him at least once a year for thanksgiving and re-dedication.        As families, it is important to give thanks in appreciation of His faithfulness and goodness to us and to also rededicate and recommit all members of our families to Him for safe-keeping, provision, defence, sustenance, preservation, good health, victory and joy. Please note that all members of the Chruch 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.
  8. 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.
