The weekend included 2 wonderful worship celebrations, 

intimate meals and conversations

 and a fantastic brunch at the Waterford Reception Hall in Springfield

 with 350 guests in attendance.

A big weekend with many hands to bring it together.

Each family was presented with the gift of a ceramic
 of the cross backdrop in the altar area of our church.
They were handmade by artist- Erika Radke.
A fitting tribute of the careful care and planning to mark this
50th year --Milestone Event.

And a beautiful reminder when the day ended.
Time given to reflect on the bounteous goodness of a Faithful God
As we look forward to the next decade in this body of Christ-

"I pray to God- my life a prayer-
and wait for what he'll say and do.
 My life's on the line before God, my Lord,
waiting and watching till morning,
waiting and watching till morning."
From Psalm 130- The Message

For His mercies are new every morning.
