Done and Dusted

Yesterday, the church recognized its finalists, marking the end of an era and the start of a new one. Smiling faces mixed with tears as many went up on stage to give heartfelt testimonies. As they related their experiences, struggles, and victories within the community, there was a strong mix of palpable emotions in the air.

Shout-outs were read to the gathering, acknowledging the contributions of each finalist and the impact they had made on the congregation. Laughter filled the air as fond memories were shared, and tears flowed freely as the reality of parting sank in. But amidst the sadness, there was a sense of joy and gratitude for the time shared together.

The finalists let loose with their dances, which proved the love and connection that united them as a single family. Hugs and promises to remain in touch were given as the evening came to an end, and prayers were said for the path ahead. Those left behind felt a fresh sense of purpose, even if their absence will be noticed.

We said goodbye to our cherished finalists with a heavy heart and a positive attitude, knowing that they would take the church's light with them wherever they went.
