"They can serve as reminders of our continuity
in the faith from generation to generation," Almen said.
"Anniversaries also can widen our vision for
current mission needs and opportunities," he said.
"God continues to call us as a church."
"Moreover, anniversaries, as reminders of God's
grace, can foster in us renewed awareness of the commission to
pass on the faith to those who will come after us," Almen
said. more
