( REPRINT FROM WHEN WE WERE CELEBRATING OUR 93RD ESTABLISHMENT DATE)
Article 18, Volume 3 Monday, October 14, 2013
93rd Anniversary Commences - Celebration from Sunday, Oct.13 thru Friday, Oct 18, 2013
Pastor Matthew J. Pearson delivered the morning message. His scripture was from Colossians 2: 6-7 and his text was "Being Established in the faith of Christ Jesus"
The final song for the a.m. service was, "Hold Back the Night" featuring Lily Warner as the lead singer. The Sister can sing. As the choir neared the end of the song, after about seven minutes, many in the congregation wanted more, just a little bit more.
Reverend Elton P. Wilson, pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist (St.Louis) in Middleburg, VA, and members of his church were special guests for day one of Warner Baptist's 93rd anniversary.
Rev. Wilson congratulated the members of Warner Baptist for their sustaining will to keep on keeping on. He used Exodus 14:21 for his scripture. His text was "Dry Land".
The sermon emphasized how God made a way for the children of Israel to cross over to freedom on dry land. Emphasis was put on how God customized the wind to hold back the water. After preaching for a while, the preacher got in his comfort zone, and really stressed what God has done, is doing, and can do, if you only believe and put your faith in Him. God is our protector.
Mt Zion's choir, under the direction of Marcus Howard, presented the congregation with some spirit-filled hymns. Two of the selections were "Oh, How Marvelous" and "Jesus Can Pick You Up".
The songs sung by the choir lead many in the congregation to stand, clap, shout out, and stump their feet in a joyful manner.
Yes, it was a wonderful service, and an afternoon well spent.
Oh, thanks also go out to the Culinary Ministry for serving a wonderful meal.
Well, we will be at it again tonight. (10/14/2013)
Will you be there?
