From the start of a discussion to present I echo the words of the hymn writer “The years roll around and steal away”. Thanking God for the ROCK on which the Mystical Order of Spiritual Baptist is built. Yes, on a sure foundation that stood the test of time, the trials and testings and have overcome everything for we are still in the land of the living to offer praise and thanks at His hands.

Thanking God for the founding fathers who many times were slain from within and without and this day can say “On Christ the solid Rock we stand, all other ground is sinking sands”. What we believe that the word of God dwells in the hearts and souls of man and not an establishment made with man. For where the twos and threes are gathered He is in the midst. That is the promise to the faithful in Christ Jesus.

To our Patriarch and Chief Apostle Sir Darrin, Queen Abbess Lady Patricia, Clergy and members along with the establishment in Trinidad and Tobago, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and the United Kingdom we give praise to the Great Architect of the Universe who has brought us this far for EIGHT YEARS.

Long live the Mystical Order and its members and that the grace of God continues to cover each member. There is power in the word and in any association, God is the centrepiece. May we find comfort in this life knowing that our names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. God’s blessings on you. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
