It is my privilege to welcome you to [church name] family and friend day. The family is a vital institution created by God. Throughout history every civilization's fate has been reflected in its families. As the family goes so goes the nation.
The Bible also stresses the importance of friendship. Proverbs 27:10 tells us "Do not forsake your friend or the friend of your father..." Proverbs18:24 tells us that "there is a friend that sticks like a brother". As we join together to celebrate the importance of friends and family we hope that you will enjoy and be blessed by today's program. Thank you for being here.
