THE SACRED TRUST OF REMEMBERING

CELEBRATE YOUR CONGREGATION'S HISTORY TOGETHER

"The renewal of the church will come from those who remember what has been bequeathed to them from the past and, to interpret it afresh in ways that address the most pressing needs of our several contexts."

One generation shall laud your works to another,
and shall declare your might acts…
The Lord is good to all,
And his compassion is over all that he has made.
(Ps. 145:4 & 9)

The aim of these web pages is to offer support, ideas and guidelines as you plan to celebrate your congregational past together.  They include ideas, comments and guidelines from many people who have involved themselves in planning celebrations for congregational and parish anniversaries.  We have chosen what we believe to be the most constructive and imaginative contributions from a wide selection.  Our thanks to those whose ideas we have unwittingly shared by exploring your histories, programmes, entertainments and websites. 

God Encompasses all our history in the past
Encompasses us with love in the present
Encompasses all that lies in the future.
When we look at our history we do so in God
