Father, we acknowledge that it is only by Your grace that we have come this far. You have been our provider, our protector, and our ever-present help in times of need. Through trials and triumphs, through challenges and victories, You have remained faithful.

May this church continue to be a beacon of light, a place of refuge, and a source of hope for all who enter its doors.
We pray for our pastors, leaders, and every member of this church. Strengthen them, Lord, and fill them with wisdom, love, and perseverance. May they continue to lead with humility and integrity, always seeking Your will in all they do. Bless their families, protect them from harm, and provide for their every need.
Father, we also lift up the future of this church into Your hands. May Your plans and purposes be fulfilled in and through us. Open doors for greater ministry opportunities, bring in new souls to be saved, and deepen our love for one another. Let this church always be a place where Your name is glorified, where the lost find salvation, where the broken find healing, and where the weary find rest.
Lord, we dedicate this anniversary celebration to You. May everything we do today be pleasing in Your sight. Fill this place with Your presence, and let our worship rise as a sweet fragrance before You. May our hearts be filled with joy, our mouths with thanksgiving, and our spirits with renewed strength to continue the work You have entrusted to us.
Thank You, Lord, for all You have done, for all You are doing, and for all You will continue to do in this church. We give You all the glory, honor, and praise, now and forever.
