Today we are reminded of God’s faithfulness to us. Our music selections represent various times in the life of our church. “Holy, Holy, Holy,” and “Onward Christian Soldiers” were our processional hymns as choirs of all ages came down the aisles of our church at the corner of Broadway & Holly Avenues. Our Choir anthem today features great hymns of the faith, especially including “The Pitman Hymn,” “In the Garden.” As we entered a new season of ministry in our “new building” in 2007, our prayer continued to be that those who come after us would “Find us Faithful” as we continued to serve Jesus. A traditional blessing from the book of Numbers, “The Lord Bless & Keep You,”was the traditional benediction response for many years. For the past 139 years, Pitman United Methodist Church has been a representative of faith in Jesus. We pray that God would grant us hearts and lives that truly turn to Him and trust in Jesus so that we would continue to be used for the glory of God to make disciples for Jesus in our town, our country and around the world.
