Gov’t to host praise, thanksgiving service on New Year’s Day
Premier Andrew Fahie is urging residents to come together and join in on his government’s New Year’s Praise & Thanksgiving Service scheduled for January 1, 2021.
The service which is entitled ‘A Time of Praise and Prayer’ is aimed at getting residents to sing songs of praise while petitioning for God to continue to bless the territory.
With the territory experiencing an unprecedented year with the COVID-19 pandemic, Premier Fahie said it was the grace of God that helped the BVI to make it through the very difficult 2020.
“We are not going anywhere without God. He has been and continues to be so good to us. I make no reservations about this. We are where we are because of His grace and goodness,” Fahie stated.
He added: “This service is about offering up waves upon waves of thanksgiving and praise. It is for us to agree and collectively seek God to terminate tragedies as we celebrate triumphs of 2020 and seal our faith and our future as we go into 2021 with God’s hand ordering our steps.”
The service is scheduled to be held at the Queen Elizabeth II Park on Tortola from 3 pm to 5 pm.
