Kim and I were blessed with humble joy to be invited to celebrate with Harrisonburg First Church of the Nazarene in their 20 years Remembrance at the "new" worship location.
I closed the service with this Benediction:
"Almighty Personal God...
You are so totally amazing.
So are these, your people -- they are pretty amazing, too.
(Pause...)
Your name is Forever Faithful.
Our name is Forever Grateful.
(Pause...)
It has been so good on this day to:
Savor yesterday’s memories,
Seize today’s moments and especially good to...
See tomorrow’s miracles.
Truly, today, is about the future!
(Pause...)
Please continue to show Your Presence undeniably to and through Harrisonburg First Church of the Nazarene -- at home and beyond.
(Pause...)
Let this local family of faith, hope and love keep on focusing forward -- igniting the Light of Your Love, Oh Lord, inviting lost souls to hope only in You, Lord, and...inspiring hungry believers to holiness unto The Lord.
(Pause...)
Let Your vision be evident to Pastor Adrian. Continue to anoint Him and all of those who lead alongside him. May future generations continue to be told and to tell others about You, Oh Lord.
(Pause...)
May each of us here today, recognize even realize, how wide and how long, how deep and how high, Your love is for us and for the whole world. May those who are weary continue to find WELCOME here!
(Pause...)
In Your church, Lord, continue to be glorified, day-by-day. In Your Name, continue, Lord, to be satisfied, we humbly pray. We believe the future is always preferred for Jesus-believers. You will continue to be our amazing God. Continue to make us amazing, too, for You, Almighty Personal God!
(Pause...)
In renewed Unity, the people said: Amen!"
Presence Matters Most! No Invisible People!
UNITY!
Pastor Kerry Willis
