Men s Day 2015 Celebration Reverend Antonio Q. Revell, Welcome to Men's Day at New First Baptist Church (Taylorsville) I am excited that you have come to worship and celebrate with us today! Our men have been working diligently as they have centered their hearts around 1 Thessalonians 3:11-13, lifting up the theme "To see Christ formed in every man through a head, heart and hand ministry." Certainly, they demonstrate this daily in our church as well as this community. I commend you on your commitment to follow Christ and be a witness of his power through your service. Again, to our visitors, we welcome you and thank you for worshiping with us today. Yours in Christ, Pastor Antonio Revell 1 Thessalonians 3:11-13 (KJV) 11 Now God himself and our Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you. 12 And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men, even as we do toward you: 13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.

Later that year on September 8, he was called to pastor Wesley Grove United Church of Christ in Newport News, Virginia where God is doing a mighty work and the spirit of Christ dwells therein. Rev.

Godly Men Men worshipping together Giving God His due Wanting change for the better By embracing what's true The transformation of a man From darkness to the marvelous light Gives him the strength to stand For his struggle's an internal fight Praising together one and all Taking it all to God in prayer Giving him the courage to stand tall This is a spectacle so very rare He's the head of his domain Accountable to God for all There are things which he must abstain Or else, he's most certain to fall Thank God for men with vision To see a thing through to the end Helping others to make the right decision So they won't make the same mistakes again So much to be thankful for Since this world's almost at its end Yet we can still walk through salvation's door Because we need more godly men.
