The doors of the church were opened for the 11:00 a.m. service on Thanksgiving Day, November 28,1968 with only one member, 49 people joined that day. The sermon was entitled "Volunteer Service" and the text was taken from Isaiah 6th Chapter 8th verse, "I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me."
