The other day Steven and I were talking about the actual birthday of Community Wesleyan Church. We knew it was Easter 1962 but we did not know the date. So I reached for my copy of the Book of Common Prayer which has an Easter date table in it and looked up the Easter date for that year. My eyes widened, I’m sure, and I let out a shout of surprise as I discovered the answer. Easter in 1962 fell on April 22 which is the exact date we have chosen for our 50th Anniversary celebration in 2012. We did not realize that correlation when we chose it. Rather we just picked a Sunday a couple weeks after this coming Easter so that the celebration would not get lost in or detract from Easter and so previous attenders now attending other churches could be here without missing Easter service at their current churches. But now it is discovered that we will be celebrating God’s faithfulness 50 years later to the day. What an added blessing!
