It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to our 120 TH anniversary celebration. We have looked forward to this special celebration with great anticipation, enthusiasm, and excitement. We hope that you all will become acquainted with one another at our celebration s kickoff meet and greet on Friday. On Saturday, we pray that you will have a wonderful time in fellowship at the picnic. It will be a time to enjoy one another s company along with good food, outstanding conversation, and an opportunity to catch up on old times. Then on Sunday morning, we will begin feeding our spiritual beings with the Word of God during the worship service to glorify Him to the highest. Our 120-year anniversary celebration program will culminate in the afternoon with the Reverend Terry Norman the pastor of our sister church, Old Pilgrim Baptist Church in Simpsonville, South Carolina. The history of our church is well known within the community; New Pilgrim comes from two mother churches: Clear Springs Baptist Church and Pilgrim Baptist Church. The New Pilgrim Baptist Church records its beginnings in the year 1896. We are celebrating our anniversary to take time in honoring our past, rejoicing in our present, and taking notice of our destiny in the future. We also greet and give honor to our past pastors who listened to God s instructions to lead His people through the years. We thank them for the Godly vision, sound teaching, and the stirring preaching that has shaped and inspired the New Pilgrim Baptist Church family to become the image of God. New Pilgrim Baptist, we have come a long way in one hundred and twenty years. God has blessed us and kept us through the good and the bad, in the coming in and the going out. He promised us that He will never leave us nor forsake us. We are still pilgrims traveling through this old barren land, this is not our home, so let us continued traveling through this 21 ST century by reaching the lost, equipping the saints, teaching the gospel, and by keeping the fellowship in perfect unity. May God Bless You, Reverend Michael A. Greer, Pastor Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God. Ephesians 2:19
Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It s been 120 years! Look around and see what the Lord has wrought. As we of New Pilgrim Baptist Church celebrate a tremendous milestone, rich history and the promise of a bright future. We remember how God has showered us with immense favors. He s kept the hedge of protection ever around us. We have a vision. It is a vision that will require us to stir up the gifts and talents God has given to each of us. It is a vision that will take all of us, working together empowered by the Holy Spirit, to bring fruition. I was excited and honored to chair such an important event. I am always grateful for every opportunity to serve God and my beloved Church family. It with this sense of gratitude that I thank Pastor Greer for his continued confidence in my ability to lead such an important part of this year s celebration. Second, I am grateful to this outstanding committee for putting words into action and making this a very pleasant project. Third, I must thank the many members and friends of this church for joining in this celebration and giving us abundant support.
