Milestones are always fun to celebrate. This past Sunday Centerville Community Church embraced 35 years of existence with a great anniversary service and picnic. During the service a number of people spoke emphasizing how the church has ministered to them. For 3½ decades people have been this church. We understand from the Bible that the church’s one foundation is Jesus Christ, but for 2000 years now the followers of Christ have been building on that foundation. Foundation speaks of buildings and I Corinthians 3 speaks about the construction materials that can make up each generational level. There is gold, silver and precious gems, or there is wood, hay and stubble. The previous generation of CCC people have done an amazing job of building the church strong. They have shown us by their sacrifice, love, commitment and effectiveness the gold, silver and precious gems of their generational level. Let’s keep honoring our Lord and those who have gone before in continuing the construction with the materials worthy of Christ so that the future generation will have our example on which to build.
