Personal Testimonials:
On the first Sunday of the month, we have a Communion Service, during which time a member of the congregation will give
a personal testimony on "I believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior because..."
Here is a sample: When I look at my life it’s like a quilt. My grandmother always said that we are like quilts woven together through Jesus. My quilt has many bright and dark places of cloth which God must have known just where to place each one. The left hand corner is dark because of the Polio I had as a child but it’s trimmed in a bright color. I was afraid I couldn’t walk after that surgery at 8 years old and those braces made it really difficult to ride a bicycle, but I did At 15 I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior, forever. More bright and pretty colors through school and college… I married and the quilt of my life was so pretty and with the birth of our sons, it glowed. The dark color came to the far right when I came down with Addison Disease. Again I was fearful, but why, my faith was string and I trusted in God, so that dark shade also had a brighter color around it’s edges. Each of us has joys and sorrows, bright days and dark days but the love of Jesus still goes on in each one of us. I may not be a velvet tapestry, I might even be a crazy-quilt but whatever I am, the Lord made me lovingly, carefully, reverently and exactly right! I will always love the Lord with all my heart and soul. Another sample:
"There was a time in my life when the church made a difference. I had breast cancer, yet I had peace. I just knew that everything would be okay...and that came directly from my faith. When I needed someone to listen, my church family was there. When I needed a hug, they were there. When my mother died, there was always someone who gave me just what I needed to make it through. I knew that whatever was to be, it would be okay. I was part of something bigger than myself." Another sample:
