Celebrate Heaven
NOVEMBER 14-21, 2009Jesus Christ came to this world to seek and save the lost. In doing so he offered blessings to those who would follow after Him, all of which had to do with our eternal reward. Yet these blessings are also enjoyed today by those who seek him. "Celebrate Heaven," a community celebration, is a week-long event in which we will be giving thanks to the Lord and sharing our blessings during this season of thanksgiving. There will be daily activities, special topics at nightly celebrations, community events, and a grass-roots effort to bring the blessings of heaven that we enjoy to the whole community in Saginaw. Please join us in this effort to bring God's blessings to all of our citizens by being involved in this special week.
