My Lord…what a day of celebration & reflection…
It has truly taken us all day to find the words to express the gratitude that fills our hearts after yesterday’s Sweet 16th Church Anniversary and Pastor & Wife Appreciation Celebration. From beginning to end, every moment was filled with love, joy, excellence, and the undeniable presence of God.
🎉WHAT AN ABSOLUTE SURPRISE!!!🎊
To walk down the aisle together once again, just as we did all those years ago, was such a beautiful and thoughtful surprise…one that we will never forget. It truly touched our hearts in a way that words simply cannot express…🫶🏽
✝️First and foremost, we give ALL praise, glory and honor to God, because this ministry belongs to Him! To be able to witness His faithfulness over these sixteen years reminds us that every promise, every sacrifice, every tear, and every victory has been worth it. We glorify your name, Lord🙌🏽
✝️We extend our heartfelt appreciation to every visitor, family member, friend, pastor, and fellow laborer in the Gospel Ministry who came to celebrate with us. A very special thank you to our guest speaker, Pastor Shelby & Lady Arlanda Washington, and the Abundant Truth Salt & Light Ministries Church family and Praise Team for sharing in this special occasion with us. We love and appreciate you all being with us. Thank you to Bishop Larry & Pastor Linda Donald of Greater Trinity Christian Fellowship Church in Jackson, MS for being with us, we honor you.
✝️To our beloved Covenant House Word of Faith Ministries Church Family…we say this every year because it remains true every year…there are simply no words that could ever adequately express how deeply grateful we are for each of you. Thank you for your faithfulness, your obedience, your prayers, your gifts, your cards, your beautiful expressions of love, the delicious cakes, the fruit salad (yes ma’am! 😊), and every act of kindness shown to us. Seeing so many of you travel great distances just to celebrate with us truly overwhelmed our hearts.
