ANNOUNCEMENTS

The Conaree Wesleyan Holiness Church is this year celebrating its 40th Anniversary. On Wednesday 25th June 2008 a Thanksgiving Service was held at the Church.  The grand event commenced at approximately 7:45 p.m. with the procession of the Ladies Chorale who sang the Introit Praise Ye the Name of the Lord.  The Event’s Chairman Bro. Winston Phillip requested the congregation to stand, as the prayer of thanksgiving was said by the first Pastor of the Church the Rev. Ms. Hazel Harris who is now retired and resides in Nevis.

The Congregation then joined in the singing of the Hymn Great is Thy Faithfulness. Rev. Sonia Herbert read Greetings from District Superintendent Rev. Sylvester Herbert who was unable to attend. A beautiful rendition was given by the Instruments of Peace. The group received a thunderous applause for their rendition.  A most appropriate Poem summarizing the existence of the church written by Carol Phillip-Tudor entitled Cathedral Threads was read by her sister Paulette Phillip.  An informative History of the Church followed and was delivered by Pastor Desmond Hobson. An impressive Dance was done by Junelle Liburd and Jewel Morris (J & J) and an appropriate rendition of the song We’ve come this far by faith was sung by the Wesleyan Youths.

Congratulatory speeches were delivered from Deputy Prime Minister Hon. Sam Condor, Parliamentary Representative Hon Cedric Liburd, Leader of the People’s Action Movement Mr. Lindsay Grant, and Secretary of the Evangelical Association Bishop Ron Collins. All speeches were upbeat and praises and commendation were lauded on the church for its role in the Conaree and its environs.

The large congregation included the Governor General Sir Cuthbert Sebastian, Rev. Marva Jenkins, Dr. & Mrs. Vincent Liburd, Mrs. Willa Liburd, Mr. Ersdaile Seaton, Mr. Tony Hendrickson and Ms. Vera Caines all of the U.S.A., many other friends of the church, other ministers and members of the Wesleyan Holiness Churches in St. Kitts and Nevis.

The packed church required additional seating which extended to the grounds of the church under a large tent which was mounted for that purpose. A large television screen was placed on the grounds to facilitate the persons sitting under the tent.

One of the highlights at the Thanksgiving Service was the Message by the Special Guest Speaker the Rev. Dr. Oldain P. Charles who was introduced by Sister Kathleen Hobson.  Following his introduction, the Rev. Dr. Oldain Charles Assistant General Superintendent of the Wesleyan Churches in the Caribbean and former District Superintendent of the St. Kitts District, delivered a dynamic and challenging Message.  He spoke on the theme Hitherto hath the Lord helped us.  Everyone listened attentively as this very timely message touched their very being.  Indeed the  Members were encouraged to move the church forward to higher heights.

The Ladies Chorale then lustily rendered the anthem Great is the Lord. The Church Pastor Rev. Mrs. Sonia Herbert delivered the Vote of Thanks which was followed by the singing of the closing Hymn To God be the Glory.

Indeed God has been good to the Conaree Wesleyan Holiness Church and we give Him the glory for all the challenges and accomplishments over these 40 years.

The Wesleyan Holiness Church of this District comprising the islands of   St. Kitts, Nevis, Saba and Anguilla is this year celebrating its 100th Anniversary.  A number of celebratory activities are being held during the centennial year. 

The Passing of the Torch has been one of the activities when all   churches had the privilege of receiving and passing the Torch.  On Sunday 14th September a delegation from the Barnes Ghaut Wesleyan Holiness Church journeyed from Nevis to hand over the Torch to the Pastor and Members of the Conaree Wesleyan Holiness Church where it was lighted. 

The handing over ceremony was held outside of the Louisa Grant reschool. The congregation then marched through the Village of Conaree accompanied by the sounds of the Hobson’s Musical Band.

Three young men of the Church Javern Richardson, Daren Hobson and sprinter Delwayne Delaney who is well known both in the local and International Sporting World as one of our Leading athletes ran a relay with the Torch during the procession of the March.

On arrival at the church the Torch was received at the entrance of the church by Bro. St. Clair Lewis one of the Senior Members of the Church who then passed it on to one of the younger members Sister Loleisha Codrington who mounted the Torch in place at the Church.            

On Sunday 28th September a delegation from the Conaree Wesleyan Holiness Church then travelled to Nevis to hand over the Torch to the Pastor and Members of the Cotton Ground Wesleyan Holiness Church. The final handing over ceremony for the Torch will be held at the         Basseterre Wesleyan Holiness Church on Sunday 19th October, 2008.

The final Centennial activity will be held on Sunday 25th October, in Dieppe which is the village where the Wesleyan Holiness church began.

Sunday 12th October was Family Sunday at the Conaree Wesleyan Holiness Church.  The Morning Service was conducted by Bro St. Clair Lewis and his family.  The family must be complimented for their role in the service. They also disclosed that it was the first time they sang together as a family. We say thanks to the Lewis family. Bishop Ron Collins delivered the sermon which was very informative, relevant and dynamic.  This message grasped the attention of every individual present, even the children and youths were fully involved in the sermon.  At the end of his message Bishop Collins invited families to move to the altar for prayer. Families did not hesitate to move forward in family groups. Bishop Collins said these prayers and admonished everyone to fight for their families that God may be with them and grant them wisdom and blessing. At the end of the service the congregation, including the many visitors who were present expressed their appreciation for such a timely message.

A Panel Discussion under the theme Restoring Love to Family Relationships was held in the night.  A number of invitations were distributed to many individuals in the community.  The hosting of this activity was to reach out to families especially parents of the many children who attend the Sunday school and the Church.

It was disappointing that two of the Panelists were unable to attend however, they have both apologized and have agreed to participate in another such event. The sole Panelist present was Mrs. Leonie James who delivered a presentation which challenged the audience and aroused a lively session of questions and answers which was moderated by the Pastor, the Rev. Sonia Herbert. The atmosphere was cordial and persons related experiences and situations which were crucial to family relationships. It was agreed that other panel discussions will be held as there is definitely a need for such open and informative interaction.

We give God thanks for a wonderful Family Sunday and we are pleased to know that many families were touched by the day’s activities.

On Sunday 9th November, 2008 the church will celebrate its Annual Harvest Thanksgiving. The morning service will be at 11:00 a.m. and the Harvest Thanksgiving program will be held at 4:00 p.m.

The church year November 2007 – October 2008 is now winding down.  The election of officers for the new church year has begun.  The Annual Church Conference will be held on 18th November, 2008.
