| ‘Thoughts
on an Anniversary' |
|
 Remember
when you were 20 years old? T.A.P.C. has reached that milestone!
Getting close to 1/4 of a century! Wow, you can really be
proud of all the ways you have witnessed for your Lord these
last 20 years. Yes, like any 20 year old, this church has
had it's ups and downs, good times and bad, struggling but
always succeeding to live up to the mission statement that's
printed proudly on the front of the bulletin. Yes, my friends
you have loved this church as the ‘bride of Christ'
I congratulate you on being a dedicated lover of your Lord,
who is the head of the church.
I think
the classic poem by Grant Tullan, is fitting for this special
anniversary:

"The
Weaver"
My life is but a weaving, between the Lord and me,
I cannot choose the colors, He worketh steadily.
Ofttimes he weaveth sorrow, and I in foolish pride,
Forget He sees the upper and I, the underside.
Not till the loom is silent and the shuttles cease to fly,
Shall God unroll the canvas and explain the reason why.
The dark threads are as needful, in the weaver's skillful hand,
As the threads of gold and sliver, In the pattern He has planned. |
| I
wish you, the members and friends of Tawas Area Presbyterian
Church, many more happy anniversaries as you weave God's patterns
in spreading his love. |
|
Happy
Anniversary,
|
 |
| Always
yours in a journey of faith, |
| See
you in church, |
|
T.A.P.C.
