A church's anniversary welcome address is a speech given by a pastor to his or her congregation. This type of public address will vary according to the beliefs of the congregation; different faiths will be addressed in different ways. Therefore, it is impossible to isolate specific examples of a welcome pastor's anniversary church speech. However, a typical speech may include the following elements:
• Greeting to the congregation - A warm welcome to the men, women and children who attend a church will be featured at the beginning of a welcome speech. The pastor will thank the congregation for their regular attendance, as well as their contributions to the church (which may include donations and volunteering.
• Announcement Of The Anniversary - Then, a pastor will tell the congregation that this day is the day of the church's anniversary. He or she may go one to tell attendees about the history of the church; the date the church was built, and any other notable information that is appropriate.
• Sermon - At this point, a pastor may find stories in the Bible that illustrate the value of attending church and remaining loyal to a certain belief system, such as Christianity. The pastor will preach the word of God, uplifting the congregation with positive affirmations about the value of spirituality, virtue, and goodwill towards men.
• Conclusion - At the end of a welcome address, a pastor may thank the congregation again, and then talk about the church's plans for the future. These plans may include bake sales, charity drives, community outreach, and more.
After a welcome address, a choir may sing hymns, or the congregation may sing to the accompaniment of a church pianist or organist. Sometimes, a silver plate will be passed around for donations. At the end of a church welcome address, a pastor may exit the church and stand outside, greeting each churchgoer as he or she leaves.
