Intro & Thanks
It’s so good to worship with you tonight. My heart is full! Being back here with you for this great celebration is such a gift to me and Julie. Thank you! This is such a special place! It’s so good to see you and to celebrate this 85th anniversary with you. Thanks to Pastor David Gallimore for the kind invitation. And thanks to all of you for always making us feel so welcome “back home.” MVC will always feel like family to us.
Scripture: James 1:17-18 NIV
“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.”
