Many thanks to all who participated in keyboard dedication at SCCC

Many thanks to everyone who helped make the Keyboard Dedication Service at South China Community Church (SCCC) on Friday, October 3 such a success – from those who provided the beautiful music to Pastor Paul to Susie Harwath (owner of “Susie’s Bakery”) and all who attended.

Following Words of Welcome, Opening Prayer and Scripture Reading by Pastor Paul, the audience enjoyed a relaxing hour of music. A variety of hymns and secular pieces were performed by Music Director Mary Matteson, Lynne Burney and Richard Preston (piano); Phil Amidon (violin) accompanied by wife Mary on piano; Diane Rawson (guitar); Dave Matteson (drums, congas); and Tanner Matteson (congas). Choir members included David and Richard Preston, Russell Poulin, Diane Rawson, Jenny Clair and Julie Gilbert; solo performances were given by Russell and Diane.

After the Dedication and Benediction were given by Pastor Paul, Chris Field closed the service with the Aaronic Blessing: “The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; The Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” (Numbers 6:23-27)

Catering by Susie’s Bakery was literally, the frosting on the cake! Guests were treated to delicious sandwiches, salads, fruits, sweets, and cider. We greatly appreciated her cooking for our event in lieu of her weekly presence at the United Farmers Market in Belfast. SCCC is blessed in so many ways!
