Truly, it was a celebration of the Lord’s faithfulness to CFC Melbourne whose members have exhibited excellence in service and intensity in the love and effort they have given towards the fulfilment of the CFC Vision of “Families in the Holy Spirit Renewing the Face of the Earth”. May the grace of the Lord be upon each and everyone of us who is here.
Today as we look back to the mercies of the Lord in our lives, it has been a long journey but we keep counting the blessings of the Lord. His grace is sufficient to us as a church and let us congratulate each and everyone for participating to make this journey a success. The Lord has used and we are happy that the war is to Him we only enjoy the victory he gives. Let Him be praised always. (Vivian Sarmiento)
