DONE 240728 Church Anniversary Picnic

Today, the body of Nehalem Valley Bible Church celebrates 26 years of God’s goodness. We gather together to marvel that the God of all the Universe should love us, and use us for over a quarter century to further His kingdom. Is this not astonishing?

How can it be that our Savior and Lord actually hears our prayers and answers them? How can it be that He has responded to each plea for this body? How can He be so good so as to know in advance our need for fellowship, protection equipping and to supply so abundantly! There is no lack of any good thing here! Nehalem Valley Bible Church has hands and feet, we have eyes and ears! We have leaders and we have disciples each making disciples. We have recent converts to Christ and maturing believers increasing in sanctification through His Spirit and evangelists too

How well He has supplied! How well He has provided… and all for the sake of His own greatness, the fame of His name and the expansion of His kgdm

So what gratitude is appropriate for these magnificent gifts? What honor is rightfully His? Brothers and Sisters I believe the highest honor we can give is to love Him with all our heart, soul, strength and mind and our neighbor as ourselves. To Him alone belong all
