WHAT A CLIMAX! WHAT A CELEBRATION! WHAT A WORD!
The Mount closed out our 10th Year Pastoral Anniversary Celebration, and what a time we had honoring our Pastor, Rev. Micheal H. Bell, and First Lady Adriana Bell!
Dr. F. Bernard Mitchell of Zion Hill Missionary Baptist Church in Mendenhall, Mississippi was IN THE BUILDING, and he came with a WORD!
Coming from Exodus 14:15-16, Dr. Mitchell preached, “What To Do Now?”
After 10 years of serving…
After 10 years of leading…
After 10 years of praying…
After 10 years of preaching…
After 10 years of pouring into God’s people…
After 10 years of standing on the wall…
WHAT DO YOU DO NOW? You keep MOVING FORWARD!
We celebrated where God has brought Pastor Bell and First Lady Bell from, but the Word reminded us that we cannot stay there. There is still work to do, ministry to accomplish, people to reach, and GREATER AHEAD!
We want to give a heartfelt THANK YOU to every Pastor, Apostle, church family, friend, and supporter who came alongside The Mount and helped us celebrate during this anniversary season.
A special thank you to Dr. F. Bernard Mitchell of Zion Hill Missionary Baptist Church in Mendenhall, Mississippi; Apostle I.D. Harris of Rehoboth Evangelistic Church in Olympia Fields, Illinois; Pastor James Thomas of 1st Corinthians Baptist Church in Chicago; Pastor Deangelo Anderson of Beauty of Holiness in Robbins; Bishop Jamael Hammond of St. John Community Church in Robbins; Rev. Ira Milton of Immanuel Missionary Baptist Church in Harvey; Pastor Jeffery Smith of Bethlehem Temple; Minister Crosby; Pastor Campbell; Dr. Jarvis Hanson from New Nazareth Missionary Baptist, the New Birth Family; and the 1st Corinthians Missionary Baptist Church Family.
Thank you for SHOWING UP! Thank you for pouring into our Pastor and First Lady, encouraging them, praying for them, speaking life into them, and helping us celebrate this tremendous milestone. Your presence and your love did not go unnoticed!
And to THE MOUNT FAMILY!
For 10 years, you have stood with Pastor Bell. You believed in the vision. You prayed. You served. You gave. You worked. YOU STAYED!
Through the highs and the lows…
Through the victories and the challenges…
Through the growing pains and the growing seasons…
Through it ALL, GOD KEPT US, AND WE ARE STILL HERE! Ten years later, we are still lifting each other up and pushing each other on!
And we cannot close this celebration without giving a HUGE THANK YOU to our PASTORAL CELEBRATION COMMITTEE!
You worked behind the scenes. You planned. You organized. You sacrificed. You made the calls. You handled the details. You solved the problems. You stayed committed, and you kept everything moving.
From beginning to end, you worked tirelessly to make sure Pastor Bell and First Lady Bell knew just how much they are loved and appreciated.
PASTORAL CELEBRATION COMMITTEE — JOB WELL DONE!
What an amazing month!
What an amazing celebration!
What an amazing journey!
What an amazing 10 YEARS!
Pastor Bell and First Lady Bell, we celebrate you, we appreciate you, and we thank God for keeping you and allowing you to serve this ministry faithfully for 10 years!
Ten years are behind us, but there is MORE AHEAD!
There are more lives to touch.
More souls to reach.
More ministry to do.
More vision to fulfill.
More territory to possess.
And more work for The Mount to accomplish!
So, Mount Family…
After celebrating 10 years…
“WHAT TO DO NOW?”
MOVE FORWARD!
Happy 10th Pastoral Anniversary to Pastor Micheal H. Bell and First Lady Adriana Bell!
