Dr. P.A. Herbert

After much planning and many invitations being sent near and far, the Home Coming Day, 17th July was deemed a success. Under the leadership of Rose Kerr (Sabbath School Superintendent) and her team, a full to capacity church was realised.

Pastor Paul Liburd, a former minister of the church brought a thought-provoking message entitled, “When God Left Home.” A look at when the Father saw the prodigal son returning home, the Father left home to meet him. We were encouraged by the stirring way in which we were reminded that God still leaves home to meet us.

Through out the day there was participation from all age ranges within the church. Two special items stand out. Sister Bailey’s poetry recitation drew our thoughts to when we get to heaven. Also a male group, who at least 20 years ago were known as “New Dimension,” brought us an animated version of the song “Gotta Do Right”. The Congregation called for an encore and some donated generously to our Building Fund to hear the song again.

As part of the days programme there was a slide presentation of photos that took us down memory lane. Pictures that reminded the church of previous pastors, events, and high points in the church’s journey.

The overall theme for the day was “Nothing to fear for the future” and the day climaxed with a short message from Dr. Patrick Herbert, who asked the ultimate question “What have we laid up for the Future?”

Many attended our home coming day who no longer are in membership or regular attendance. Our hope is that the spirit of God will fall anew upon them and lead them to a new start in Jesus Christ.
