The New Unity Baptist Church's Annual First Fruits Celebration is truly a splendor to behold. Peopled with pageantry, poetry, and praise, it is the church's Grand Entrance into the New Year.
With the exceptions of Easter and Christmas, few other events can rival or compare to the sheer majesty of this monumental occasion. It simply has no equal.
Members adorned in their wintry white and gold reflect the glory of God in the highest as day-lit doves alight and aloft are awashed in celestial beauty.
The brush of angels' wings creates heavenly shifts in the atmosphere. Hosannas perfume the senses. Surely, the Presence of the Lord is in this place.
Members come bearing gifts of grains, oils, fruits, vegetables, and other delicacies from around the globe. From the Oriental east to the Occidental west the Abundance flows and overflows.
From Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and beyond we revel and rejoice in knowing that surely "the earth is the Lord's."
We invite you to join us as the Magnificent Magi and the Seeking Shepherds, destined Great Givers as they are, bring their concentrated treasuries of blessings to the Lord, having learned to NOT give until it hurts but rather 'until it helps'.
First Fruits, the third of the Jewish Festivals following Passover and Unleavened Bread is a statement of great faith and great obedience.
In First Fruits, the relationship with the Heavenly Father, the Great Giver to all creation, is established, reestablished, affirmed, and reaffirmed.
With it, wanderers who are wondering with their bounty in tow are transformed into blessed and boundless worshippers.
Please join us at this year's celebration at 11:00 a.m. this Sunday, January 5, 2025.
We're reserving a special seat for you, your family, and your friends.
First Fruits ~ Second to None!
Love, Hope, Joy, and Peace in Abundance.
