The first Sabbath service in God's House!
Shane Granger led songs with enthusiasm and our voices filled the auditorium from top to bottom. Mr Alex Harrison gave the opening prayer. The sermonette was brought to us by Mr Stephen Flurry. He recalled that he was standing in front of the Swans in Flight in Big Sandy at a ground breaking ceremony that Mr Tkach conducted, on the same day that his Dad and Mr Amos started out for Pasadena, Dec 7. He noted that
after the inauguaral concert in 1974, Mr Armstrong overhead a lady going on and on about the beauty of the Auditorium. Mr Armstrong told her that what she was describing was the character of God. Mr Stephen Flurry said: "Why should we be so excited about the character that this structure represents? Because God is building His character in us"
During the announcements Mr Turgeon reiterated the need to adhere to the rules for keeping the House for God flawless.
Mr Gerald Flurry gave the sermon and I won't go into detail because you will hear it for yourself but the gist of it is that the Auditorium is a house of prayer and through prayer comes power to really achieve.
Mr Ron Fraser gave the closing prayer. By the way he is leaving for London and will be there for a month to get situated with his new role as Regional Director for that region (but he'll be doing the job while based in Edmond).
