This is a unique service in the life of the church each year, where we create space for you to give and hear testimonies of thanksgiving for the work God has done in our lives this past year. We are called by Christ to be his 'witnesses.' Our testimonies of God's work in our lives are the outworking of this call to bear witness to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ and his ongoing work in us! Sharing is, of course, voluntary, but please pray about sharing something of God’s work in your life in the previous year. Someone here may really need to hear it! To this end, please prepare brief testimonies with these questions in mind:
Something that the Lord has done in your life this year for which you want to give thanks.
An account of how following Jesus has affected your relationships this year.
Things that you are most thankful to God for this year.
Something God has healed in you or in the life of someone you know.
