Church anniversary

Today our church celebrated its 6th Anniversary. The church has gone a long way from being held in a house or garage to a barn with no wall to what is it is today. A real building with walls, lighting, carpets and a nice altar area. We had a special guest singer-Eddi Mesa, who is famous in the Philippines and among the Filipinos. He used to be called the "Elvis of the Philippines" with his voice and singing style. Several friends from other churches attended this event. We started it by baptizing 8 church members. Then it was off to fellowship and share what God had done to our church. The guest speaker was very long winded and his sermon (which our Pastor to him to limit his sermon to 20-30 min!) lasted almost 45 min. By the time we got to the good stuff of eating it was 1:30pm and the services started at 10am! But the fellowship was great and so was the food, which I didn't really have any because I was too busy socializing. There was plenty of people there that I hadn't seen in years, some from our old church and friends from out of town. I think everyone had a good time even if the services was 3 hours long! Hope you enjoy the pictures.
