History is defined as the branch of knowledge dealing with past events. A continuous, systematic narrative of past events as relating to a particular people, period, community, country, etc., usually written as a chronological account. The record of past events and times, especially in connection with the human race. A past that is notable for its important and interesting events. It is time to reflect on our events of the past of historical value and importance. We must maintain our past, but learn from it to assist with present and future. As Christians, we must acknowledge our past to appreciate our future.
176 years ago, our ancestors heard the call, stood on the promises of God and acted in love by faith on a sure foundation. From generation to generation, Greater Goodwill African Methodist Episcopal Church honors and respects this promise. Jesus the rock, the precious cornerstone, a tried stone and a sure foundation which is laid in Zion.
This is the promise we acknowledge today as we continue to stand on the promises of God. This is the Lord’s doing, it is marvelous in our eyes. Always remember…
GOD OUR FATHER, CHRIST OUR REDEEMER, HOLY SPIRIT OUR COMFORTER, HUMANKIND OUR FAMILY
