The members, the gathering, the meetings, the programmes, the joy, the family, the friendship, the word, the affection, the love? There are so any things to thank God for in every church’s growth since the conception of the idea of a community of God, to a year and years of anniversaries.
Without a doubt, not every church wants to look back with a heart beaming with boundless joy. Every establishment faces challenges; while some are temporal, some others are long term. It’s only thoughtful if we are grateful for every milestone, no matter how rough the journey has been or presently is.
And if your church is on the list of the grateful establishments, regardless of the state of affairs and irrespective of the challenges being faced, I’ll join you to celebrate its anniversary. So, happy anniversary to your church.
Now, to why you are here. You need some ideas around prayers for the church anniversary? Whether they are some opening prayers, closing prayers, or thanksgiving prayers for the service, you will have enough on this page to set the pace. You can set of with the following prayers and add as the spirit leads.
It’s your first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, nineth, tenth, or more anniversary? You only need to insert the appropriate year into the prayers and all will be fine.
Thanks for visiting. Happy anniversary to your church once again.
