🎓✨ What a Wonderful Celebration at Sunlight! ✨🎓

Yesterday, our Sunlight family came together to honor and celebrate the amazing accomplishments of our graduates. From our precious Pre-K graduates all the way through our college graduates! We are so proud of each of them and grateful to witness the incredible milestones God has helped them achieve.

A special highlight of the day was our “Fill the Trunk” Celebration for our high school senior, Do’Niyia Rutledge, as we showered her with love, encouragement, gifts, and well wishes before she begins her college journey. It was a beautiful display of support from our church family as we sent her off to this exciting new chapter.

Thank you to everyone who participated, donated, and helped make this celebration so memorable.

Congratulations to all of our graduates! We pray God’s continued blessings, favor, and success over each of you as you step into your next season. Your future is bright! 🌟

Sunday Morning Worship at the Light

05/18/2026

What a beautiful and unforgettable evening on Friday night as we celebrated 15 years of faithful leadership from our very own Bishop Manuell Smith, IV and First Lady Minister Le’Neka Smith. We thank God for his dedication, sacrifice, love, and unwavering commitment to the people of God and to the ministry. Through the years, he has continued to lead with grace, strength, humility, and a true heart for God’s people. We honor and appreciate all that is poured into Sunlight Nation, and we pray God continues to strengthen, cover, and bless him with many more years of impactful ministry.

A very special thank you goes to Sis. Yolanda Daniel for planning and organizing such an elegant and beautiful 15th Anniversary Black Tie Banquet. Your hard work, countless hours, attention to detail, and love poured into this event did not go unnoticed. Thank you for helping make this celebration such a memorable and meaningful occasion for our leaders and church family.

From Sis. Yolanda Daniel:

“First, I give all honor and thanks to God for allowing my Bishop to see almost 15 years of faithful service at one church. I pray God continues to bless Bishop and First Lady with many more wonderful years in ministry.

I would like to sincerely thank everyone who helped make this event such a success. Thank you to Whitney and Dezmond Ackles for all that you all did, Genia Jordan for helping with the decorations, and LeKesha McGregor for beautifully draping the room.
Thank you to Annissa Net Carter for catering the delicious food and Tara Huntley for the amazing cupcakes.

To all of my servers, helpers, speakers, and everyone who played a part behind the scenes, thank you all so much. Your support, hard work, and willingness to help truly meant so much to me. I appreciate each and every one of you for helping make this night so special.
