12

Written by cycleguy on October 17th, 2016

This coming Sunday we will celebrate our 12th anniversary as a church community. I shared the following this past Sunday. I realize many of you who read this are not part of OVCF, but there are some who do, some of whom were not here Sunday to hear this. So I thought I would include it here, especially for them.

“Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts; let them proclaim your power. Everyone will share the story of your wonderful goodness; they will sing with joy about your righteousness.” Psalm 145:4,7

I want to ask you a personal favor. Would you email me at pastor@ovcf.org a paragraph or two about a time when God has used the ministry of Owen Valley Christian Fellowship to bless or help you? You might share about an individual who helped you, a conversation you had, a youth group event, mission trip, Bible Study, or a sermon. If you choose, you can ask to keep it anonymous. The best reflection we could have for our 12th Anniversary is our church family sharing stories of God’s wonderful goodness being lived out by His people through OVCF over the last 12 years.

The plan is to share some of your responses this Sunday, but also to share throughout the whole month of November about God’s goodness and our gratitude for His goodness. Your responses will also be an added bonus during our prayer time when we pray for the Educator, college student, etc.  It will be a great way to say thanks.

Perhaps you are reading but are not a part of the OVCF family in Spencer. Why not do this for your church/pastor and let him know of your gratitude? Why not start here and tell me what you are thankful for?

    Hi Bill! I know there will be many testimonies, and I hope your community celebrates with joy at each one. What a powerful thing the body of Christ is!
    In my own community, I am thankful for people who care, who pray, who gave me a prayer shawl when I broke my leg…who make me feel like a belong. That’s a powerful thing too.
    Blessings,
    Ceil

    Happy 12th Anniversary, Bill! It’s a beautiful thing that you’re doing. Hearing the words of gratitude from all in the community is such a strength-building and faith-building exercise for everybody.

  5. Well, I’ve never been a part of your congregation, but I have been impacted by you, Bill! Thanks for all you do and congrats on a wonderful milestone in loving and serving people. 🙂
