George Stuart - Celebrating the church

As we come in celebration,

We now contemplate our past

We delight in former friendships

And the love that holds us fast;

All our past is now accepted;

Through its troubles we have grown;

Now the future beckons to us,

Knowing we are not alone.

We give honour to past visions

Fostering community;

For all feelings of belonging

Energizing harmony;

We acknowledge past commitments,

Past successes, past mistakes;

Jesus never promised to us

Life without its pains and aches.

As this annivers’ry passes

We commit to ministry;

Look to Jesus for direction;

Forge a thrilling destiny;

We have journeyed on together

With abundant, godly care;

We now look toward the future

Knowing God will meet us there.
