Ground Breaking August 21st, 2005

Dedication of Site   pictures

Beloved in the Lord, we rejoice that God put in into the hearts of His people to break this ground to the Glory of His name. I now set it apart for the building of the Leckieville Freewill Baptist Church. Let us, therefore, as we are assembled, solemnly dedicate this site to its proper and sacred uses.  As we break this ground to the Glory of God, The Father, who has called us by his grace;  To the honor of His Son, Jesus, who loved us and gave his life for us;  to the praise of the Holy Spirit, who illuminates and sanctifies us.  For the worship of God in prayer and praise; for the preaching of the everlasting gospel;  for the celebration of the Lord's supper.  For the comfort of all who mourn;  For strength to those who are tempted; for light to those who seek thy way.  For the hallowing of family life; for teaching and guiding the young; for the preaching ministry, for the conversion of sinners; for the promotion of righteousness; for the extension of the Kingdom of God, in the Unity of Faith; in the bond of Christian Brotherhood; in charity and goodwill to all, in gratitude for the labors of all who love and serve this church; in loving remembrance of those who have finished their course; in the hope of a blessed immortality through Jesus Christ our Lord.

We now, the people and congregation, compassed about with a great cloud of witnesses, grateful for our heritage, aware of the sacrifice of our fathers in the faith confessing that apart from us their work cannot be made perfect,  do dedicate ourselves anew to the worship and service of almighty God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.  AMEN.
