There are a lot of great reasons to have a party.  One great reason is to mark a milestone or achievement like a wedding, graduation, or promotion. Celebration in God’s church helps us recollect God’s goodness to us.  It allows us to make a big deal out of what God has given our church family.  Every two months we have a  “Celebration Sunday” to celebrate the transformation we have experienced as a result of putting into practice what we hear on Sunday mornings.  We stop and recognize God’s present kingdom that’s active in our community.  We don’t do this alone but with each other as well as the Solidarity Community.  Since we serve together throughout the week, we want to celebrate and encourage each other with our stories of transformation.  Specifically; overcoming hardships; achieving a goal; realizing we are valued and called to work with God even though we are flawed; and stories of God’s active and incoming Kingdom.  We do not want to become a people who forget God’s work in our lives.  So we want to create a place where we can reflect, remember, and celebrate the presence of God in our midst.
