Dear Friends and Family of NCCOL UMC,
With great joy and gratitude, we extend our warmest invitation to you and your family to join us in celebrating the 135th anniversary of New Christian Chapel of Love United Methodist Church. This significant milestone not only commemorates our enduring faith but also honors the incredible journey of our congregation.
The theme of our anniversary celebration is “We’ve Come This Far by Faith: Transforming Lives through God’s Grace: Celebrating 135 Years of Blessings.” As we reflect on the rich history of our church, we also look forward to the exciting opportunities and blessings that lie ahead. This momentous occasion will bring together our church family, friends, and community to rejoice in our shared faith and celebrate our church’s remarkable contributions over the years.
The celebration will begin at 12 p.m. on Saturday, October 7, 2023, at our NCCOL UMC Fellowship Hall, featuring fun, food, and activities for all ages. Fellowship on Sunday, October 8, 2023, will begin with our morning service at 9:30 a.m.
After the morning service, you can view our Wall of NCCOL History and, at 1:00 p.m., have a delightful dinner at our fellowship hall. Afternoon service will begin at 3:30. There will be presentations highlighting the history and achievements of our church from community members and congregation, music by our church choirs, and an inspirational sermon by our own Pastor William W. White.
We sincerely hope your presence will grace this momentous occasion, adding to its joy and significance. We encourage you to invite your friends, family, and neighbors to join us.
As we gather to celebrate our 135th anniversary, let us express our gratitude for God’s Grace and the unwavering support of our congregation. We eagerly anticipate your presence as we make this event a memory to be cherished for years to come.
