Mr. D. Celebrates 90 Years

On Sunday, Jan. 13^Th, BFA enjoyed a very special Sunday Celebration. We gathered together to worship and began by singing 'Happy Birthday' to Chester Donaldson. We rejoiced in what God has been doing in his life, and expressed a collective thank-you from the church that God used Chester to raise up. Joe Cimprich led our time of singing, while Mrs. D. and Andy shared in two special songs. Chester had composed a hymn some years ago, and it was a blessing to hear Marion and Andy sing this out together. Following an excellent message from Phil, we moved to the fellowship hall to enjoy a celebration luncheon. Wonderful tasty treats feasted our palates, while we were able to enjoy a brief presentation of cards and a special plague. The plaque read 'In honour of your 90th Birthday and your untiring and faithful service to the Lord Jesus Christ, this plaque is presented to Chester Donaldson by the saints of Bible Fellowship Assembly, on Jan. 13th, 2013. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, (Hebrews 13:8) A number were able to express their individual thanks to Chester. Dave, Ted, Peggy, Stan, Tim, Rod and Phil all took a few moments to thank Chester for the blessing that God has been through him. A wonderful cake and cutting was again provided by Linda. Chester and Marion both took a few moments to express their gratitude for this time.
