From the Pastor's Desk...

Greetings in the name of Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, we are truly blessed to be able to celebrate 129 years of faithful service to our Lord. I give honor to God for His sustaining power.

God is truly in the "Blessing Business" and we are thankful for the many blessings we have received through the years. 129 years is a significant milestone for any church. It is a testimony of the goodness of God and the dedication and faithfulness of the members of Galilee Missionary Baptist Church - both past and present.

Much has happened since our last anniversary celebration, and I am expectantly looking forward to the new opportunities that are before us as a church family. I envision great things for our future as we follow the Lords leading. Even in these troubling times in our world, we have managed to stay together. Our unity is to be commended during a time of challenges and difficulties when we had to learn to adapt to an alternate means of conducting services. Things have not been perfect, and we have had some missteps along the way, but we have faithfully supported "In-person, virtual, and dial-up" morning services and Bible Studies throughout the pandemic. Our love for one another and for the church has been an inspiration. My prayer is that we will continue to show our support for our brothers and sisters in Christ.

We are delighted that you have come to share in this great celebration with us and we encourage you to come back and visit us soon. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Pastor Elliott Bing and Phillip Grove Baptist Church for being our special guests. I also would like to thank our Anniversary Committee, the GMBC Choir, Sheila Redmond-Hunter, ministry leaders and ministries, members, churches, sponsors, patrons, and everyone else who helped make this program the success that it was.

To God be the Glory!

Reverend Sheldon Cooper, Pastor

Greetings from the First Lady

To God be the glory, for all the wonderful things He has done!!

This afternoon we pause to celebrate 129 years of the Lord faithfully sustaining this wonderful church family, and I am truly grateful for our church, our leaders, our members, and our mission. The Lord has been good to Galilee and has allowed us to continue serving Him while learning, growing, and maturing spiritually through the years.

As we celebrate today, let us reflect on and be thankful for God’s goodness and faithfulness, and on those who have served in this ministry and left their mark in the history of Galilee.

So, again I say, “To God be the glory for all the wonderful things He has done! “

With love, Sister Germaine Cooper
