The Methodist Church continued its 50th Golden Jubilee celebration yesterday with a parade that started from in front of the church to the Malae-o-Aele field at Faleula.
The George Brown Primary School, Uesiliana College and Wesley College together with synods from all around the globe participated in yesterday’s event.
President of the Methodist Church, Reverend Aisoli Iuli, was in tears when he thanked everyone, including the students for coming together as one in making their celebration beautiful and memorable.
“I want to see a strong Methodist Church,” he said.
“I want to see a church that comes together with one heart to do something. I want people who can do things with one heart and one soul.”
He also encouraged them to be strong and reminded that the Lord will be with them always.
“I remember an elderly man who was saying farewell to his children and he told his children, “When you go take my bones with you and the Lord will visit you.”
“He visits your wisdom, your freedom and your hearts, and if you have everything and have wisdom and knowledge then go and take my bones with you."
“I can see the church is growing and all because of our forefathers so may we always remember them and the hardship that they went through just for us to be happy.”
The Head of State, His Highness Tui Atua Tupua Tamasese Efi also spoke at the end of the parade.
The celebration continues today.
