CO-CHAIR’S ACKNOWLEDGMENT

CONGRATULATIONS ON OUR 80TH CHURCH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION!

Pastor Ivy and the First Baptist Church of Marshall Heights Family:

It is with great pleasure and humility that we express our appreciation to you for your
support as we planned the Church’s 80th Anniversary Celebration.

The Anniversary Committee was motivated through continued prayer and the
Anniversary Theme: Colossians 3:17 – Serving Christ with Excellence. We were also
motivated by the Committee’s self-established Mission and Vision “to organize a
Celebration magnifying God’s goodness for eighty years of grace on the Hill, A Loving
Community”. The Co-Chairs thank you for the trust and confidence you placed in us.
We hope the outcome was pleasing to God and to the First Baptist Church family.

To our Team Members, thank you for your steadfast cooperation. From the beginning
to the end session, the Recorder kept recording. The Celebration venue was
magnificent and the program activities were filled with entertainment and excitement.
The news was broadcasted often and all around. Church members, family and friends
felt welcomed and nourished by the warm hospitality; and, we were snapped and
photographed until the end. As we plotted the journey to the great Celebration, we
were reminded that God would supply all our needs as our allotted funds were skillfully
managed. We are grateful for your respect, honesty, and endless teamwork. This
Commemorative Anniversary Book is a keepsake and a reminder of the Anniversary
Theme: Serving Christ with Excellence!

Church Staff, thank you for your guidance and thoughtfulness throughout the process.

To our Pastor, we are appreciative of your strong support. The light in our hearts will
forever shine brighter!

ALL GLORY UNTO GOD!
