KCOC 6TH ANNIVERSARY

Greetings in the name that is above all others names!

It is with warmth and gratitude to our almighty God that I welcome all of you to the 6th anniversary of our Church. Anniversary is an occasion of joy and happiness to celebrate the togetherness and it marks a milestone.
Today is also an opportunity for all of us to give thanks for the many ways our God has been gracious to each one of us and to Christians and non -Christian around the globe, despite the recession, poverty, diseases, unemployment, insecurity, global warming, mortgage closers, just to mention a few, of the many other challenges we face in our daily life.
I would like to specially thank and recognize the KCOC Board for tireless efforts  and hard work, at times against odds, to see that this Church is thriving
A few administrative changes have taken place after a meeting with Church Development Team of PTCA, and Rev. Dr Mwihia, Rev S. Muhia and myself, where it was re-defined that Rev Dr Mwihia serves at Church of all Nations while  Rev Muhia serves Church of Master while I am accredited to this Church- KCOC to serve as its Pastor, all of us being members of the same Presbytery. As a result both Rev Dr Mwihia and Rev Muhia are no longer Board members of KCOC and that includes Mrs Mwihia who is an Elder at Church of all Nations. This was also ratified in the last Board meeting.

We are in the process of being given a voice in the Presbytery of Twin Cities after the presbytery accepted to give us a slot of 1 or 2 representatives by next year.

Let us take this occasion to remind ourselves of the greatest challenges facing Christians today. These challenges include but not limited to Spiritual, Social and economic matters just to mention a few. I would encourage all of us to join wider group of Christian community by meeting and praying for the many threats facing Christian today so that we Christian speak with one voice against the evils in the universe. We need to come out of our little cocoons of individuality and face Satan boldly by standing out to be counted, by attending Church regularly as the word says in Hebrews 10:19-25. We need to be actively engaged in the Church, taking responsibilities building God's Kingdom. Let us volunteer our time for we cannot afford to remain part of the silent majority. We need to come together to solve our problems, plan for the future for us and our children.
Let us put on the whole Armor of God. (Ephesians 6:10-18).

Our gratitude’s go out to:

· Kihanya and Kariuki (our IT guys) who are working on a new look for our website.

· John and Eli for making our music rich by playing the drums.

· Praise and worship team of Ngendo and Shiku for being there when called upon.

· Our youth, children, ladies gentlemen, I cannot forget our friends and visitors, thank you.

I am humbled to be you Pastor and I am open to new ideas, constructive criticism and priesthood of all believers

I do remind you of the many opportunities available at PTCA. Please visit their website which you can link thorough our website. The General Assembly of PCUSA will be held here in Minnesota in July next year.

Ladies and gentlemen, young and old let us renew our commitment to Jesus Christ our Savior as we await His return

Thank you all and God bless you.

Rev Michael Ngeru Kamau
