Welcome to our service of celebration as we give thanks for 90 years of faithful witness and service in this place. Our special speaker is the Rt. Revd. David McClay, Bishop of Down and Dromore.
Eternal and loving God, today we give thanks to You for Your goodness through all the years of worship and witness in this parish of St. Finnian. We give You thanks for Your grace in calling us to be Your people, for Your love revealed to us in Christ Your Son, for Your gift of the Spirit and the joy of salvation:
We give thanks for those who established this congregation 90 years ago; for their faith and vision, for their gifts and abilities:
We give thanks for all who have been members of this congregation, and for those whose wisdom guided our congregation:
We give thanks for all who have preached and taught here: for all who have confessed here that Jesus is Lord; and for all who today lead in worship, witness, and service in our parish. Make this church a blessing to those around us, and embolden us to move forward with strength toward what lies ahead. Amen.
