Dr. D.C. Nosakhere Thomas

Says Senior Apostle, Dr. D.C. Nosakhere Thomas, "We want to reconnect all those who have been involved with the church and who have been instrumental in its development this past dozen years. And we want to let the community know," he adds, "that we are a community church. As much as we are a part of the community, we want the community to become a part of our church that weekend."

The theme for the celebration is "Exceeding in Abundance," from Ephesians 3:20. This exciting event will take place at the Victoria Gardens Cultural Center's Celebration Hall, 12505 Cultural Center Drive in Rancho Cucamonga.

Leading off the elaborate weekend is:

Youth Explosion - Friday, October 12 at 7 p.m.

Recording artist Karen Wiggins and the Rainbow Community Praise Team will open the evening with a phenomenal praise and worship service. "Karen Wiggins is one of the most anointed praise and worship ministers I have ever heard," Thomas says.    

The guest speaker Friday will be Pastor Marc Raphael of the Imani Praise Fellowship Seventh-day Adventist church in Moreno Valley. Bringing praise-filled entertainment to the evening will be Another Peace Music Ministry, consisting of college and university students from all over the Inland Empire.

Sabbath School - Saturday, October 13 at 9:30 a.m.

Saturday morning will begin with a high Praise and Worship experience led by recording artist Sonya Griffin formerly of L.A. Mass Choir.  Additionally, there will be a powerful message of empowerment by Dr. Jerome Crichton, Senior Pastor of Every Word Ministries in Antioch, California.

The Abundant Living Praise Team joins in the festivities that morning along with the Greater Los Angels Cathedral Choir. Guest speaker will be Dr. La'Chelle Woodert, the famous Los Angeles area civil rights defense attorney. "She is a powerful woman of God with an extraordinary prophetic anointing," Thomas explains. "She ministers healing and deliverance throughout the country."

The weekend is capped off by comedian Ron G, the second-place winner of Bill Bellamy's "Who Got Jokes" television show. This extremely talented and youthful comedian from Atlanta, Georgia is unique in the business - he tells clean jokes.

Along with enjoying Ron G and other entertainment Saturday evening, you can share a gourmet Italian dinner and dancing, karaoke, Name That Tune and a "must see" 60's Costume Contest.
