Guided by His Hand: A Church Anniversary Remembrance
Gathering in celebration, praise, and worship,
Honoring our Lord and Savior’s name —
Uplifted, consoled, forgiven, and protected,
Reminded as we commemorate, gratitude aflame —
Recording another anniversary as a church community,
Bound together as a congregation, His guidance at hand.
And now, as we mark our church’s anniversary,
Close to us, His presence we understand.
Never forsaken or forgotten, His grace bestowed —
In His light, our spirits grandly expand.
Triumphantly, we lift our voices,
Resounding our gratitude for blessings that we hold,
Reflecting on victories and challenges in the year’s passages.
Steadfast and resolute, we turn to the future bold,
Amazed and uplifted by His love that’s ageless.
Reborn and invigorated,
Yesterday’s moments cherished, tomorrows praised with zest.

You, a shepherd kind and true, For your calling, our gratitude we renew.
On this day of anniversary grace, Bless our shepherd in every space.
Grant our pastor a heart of care, Each of us, a role to bear.
As a chosen flock, on Christ we stand, May we follow your divine plan.
May days for our pastor multiply, Blessings abundant, reaching the sky.
May his efforts yield a fruitful bloom, For which, dear Lord, we always assume.
May faith be his compass, unwavering and strong, As he receives eternal rewards, a lifelong song.
Safe in Heaven’s embrace, with joy anew, May your entire flock find solace in you.
Amen, we say, with hearts sincere, May our pastor’s journey be ever clear.
Church Dedication Anniversary Prayer
by Paul Berchtold, February, 2011
Let us celebrate a grand feast,
From the greatest to the least,
Let us rejoice, on this happy morn,
The special day our church was born.
God bless those who planted the seed,
And those who gave to every need,
And those who labored, with such care,
To build this church, God’s House of Prayer.
May we follow their example bright,
Generously live, do what’s right,
Like them, may we, give God our best,
So our souls can find his rest.
May all who come find peace and light,
May God’s presence and his might,
Gently guard this holy place,
May all find joy, abundant grace.
Thank you, God, for what’s been done,
Here at this place, through your Son,
May your work, keep on growing,
Love and peace overflowing. Amen.
O House of God
by Paul Berchtold, February, 2011
O house of God, his dwelling on earth,
Today we honor your day of birth.
Let us celebrate with jubilation,
This special feast of dedication. (consecration)
O gift of God, from his hand,
May you always bravely stand,
A beacon to our community,
Calling all to Christ in unity.
O loving witness to the work of others,
Strong in faith, our Christian brothers,
Great their sacrifice in times past,
May their memory always last.
May we your children take every care,
That this remains God’s house of prayer.
May God be worshiped in reverent praise,
That he may dwell within always.
O holy symbol of God’s bride,
May your doors be open wide.
Inside of you, be always heard,
God’s truth and grace, his holy word.
O welcome arms, with open door,
Solemn beauty, ceiling to floor,
Your inner vault, so calm and spacious,
Shows how our God, is big and gracious.
You are here, when things go well,
Christmas, Easter, and wedding bells,
You’re the place where we find,
Joy of heart and peace of mind.
You are here when we cry,
Comes pain and death, and questions why.
You call to mind our home hereafter,
When tears give way to joy and laughter.
O silent teacher, by your steeple,
You point to heaven all God’s people,
Standing tall for all the years.
A place to come with all our fears.
You invite us to deeper grow,
In God’s word, so that we know,
To love, to serve, give God our best,
In you our souls can find his rest.
O home for sinners to repent,
By Christ’s death, the veil was rent,
Christ rose again, that we may live,
Thank you, church, for what you give.
As we depart, the service ending,
Help recall that Christ is sending,
Each of us to show his peace,
His kingdom, come, will never cease. Amen.
