Over 60 years ago, a small group of people with a great vision dreamed a dream and planted a church in the desert. Our founders established a foundation of hope upon which we and future generations can stand. This Friday, September 10, marks the 60th anniversary of the first worship service held in our Sanctuary. Let us gratefully celebrate this milestone, recognizing that our legacy invites us into ever more opportunities to be good news in the world. Let us be inspired by our founders’ Hope and carry that Hope forward with joy. With God’s help, we will!
Almighty God, whose loving hand has entrusted us with all that we have: Grant us grace that we may honor you during this time of celebration. Give us wisdom to see the possibilities you’ve laid before us, give us courage to step out in faith to fulfill these possibilities, and give us hope that the tomorrow we are building will bear fruit for your Kingdom.
Amen.
