With this awakening, we the present generation and those who will follow after us will be ready to take their place in a church old, yet new, made by promises of God. We must encourage aggressiveness and restlessness. We must recognize leadership and condone good fellowship. This is our day and with faith in God, who has promised to be with us we are able to grasp courage for whatever is before us. Our fields of labor are ripe they have been sown by the hard struggle of our fore-founders.

We hope this history will be a token of gratitude to those resting in hallowed ground who toiled, struggled, prayed and fathered generations in order to make this year one to celebrate. The whole truth we reserve to God alone and to those resting in their graves.
