Happy 1-Year Anniversary, The Vine! 🌱

Today’s service was a special milestone — celebrating one year of gathering together at Ralph Williams Elementary School. Through worship, testimony, and reflection, we remembered that every step of this journey has been marked by God’s faithfulness and grace.

Our message came from 1 Samuel 7:1–15, where Samuel and the Israelites set up a stone of remembrance — an Ebenezer — declaring,

“Thus far the Lord has helped us.”

📖 In this passage, we see:

  • How godly sorrow leads to repentance and renewal (2 Corinthians 7:10)

  • That true freedom and victory come not through our own strength, but through God’s

  • The power of remembering how far God has brought us

As part of our service, everyone was invited to write on an Ebenezer stone — marking a personal way they’ve seen God help them. It was a beautiful moment of gratitude, testimony, and unity in worship.

Even in a year of challenges and growth, we echo Samuel’s words:
“Thus far the Lord has helped us.”
