First Anniversary Celebration – St. Andrews Church
September 5th, 2010St. Andrew’s Church of Lawrenceburg TN celebrated it’s first anniversary Sunday 9/5/2010 with a service for the Lord’s Day and a fellowship meal afterwards.
The sermon for the day focused on 1 Samuel 7:2-14 – how frequently times of repentance and worship are followed by conflict and the advance of Christ’s Kingdom. The people of God were challenged to move ahead in faith in the coming year. Here’s a link to the Sermon – “Ebenezer”.
Participants were given a special bookmark imprinted with a prayer designed to help Christians “Remember Your Baptism” so our lives will be based on God’s covenant promises instead of on ever changing circumstances. (A photo is below).
The prayer is based on the declaration of baptism’s meaning found in the baptismal service used by St. Andrew’s Church that dates back to at least 1560. More important than it’s age is it’s ability to proclaim the meaning of Holy Baptism in light of the Scriptures.
Each family also received their own copy of the Heidelberg Catechism, a deeply devotional summary of the essentials of the Christian Faith and summary of the Bible’s essential message, the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
If you’d like to receive one, contact the church and leave your mailing address for your copy!
