Epiphany Celebration Anglican Church celebrated its new house of worship on Sunday by offering praise for the stately red brick building on Bay Street that once belonged to their Baptist friends.
“This is a joyous off-the-charts happy day,” the Rev. Dr. W.H. Volland said to the 255 people sitting in the pews. “The only reason we are in this place is because of the faithful, Godly obedient ministry of the folks of Bay Street Baptist Church. We offer a great deal of thanksgiving to them.”
Epiphany Celebration Anglican Church was formed on Jan. 6, 2007, the day of Epiphany on the liturgical calendar.
Congratulations Woody. You and your people’s faithfulness and perseverance are an inspiration to all. My prayers are that the leaders of the Mission have that same faithfulness and perseverance to fully join the ACNA.
Um, why is the word “celebration” in their name? It makes it sound like a storefront non-denom.
Yes, its very encouraging every time a new congregation is planted, or grows enough to afford its own building. May there be many more like this.
This is yet another nail in the coffin of liberalism, which is incapable of growing churches, only shrinking them and stripping their assets.
