From New York-Justin Badi Arama, archbishop of South Sudan, preached the value of living a life of gratitude to God to an audience of Gilbertsville congregants and former Sudanese refugees who fled the violence in their home country as children and have since established lives and families in upstate New York.
The Sudanese nationals were the special guests of Christ Episcopal Church, one of three Gilbertsville congregations to host the annual community worship service Sunday in Centennial Park.
“A life well-lived is a life of gratitude and thanksgiving to God,” Arama said. “Although we live in a world that is full of misery — full of disability, full of disease, wars and terror attacks — the bible encourages all Christians to live a life of gratitude to God.”
Arama said the most important reason to be thankful to God is outlined in John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that he sent his one and only begotten son to the world.”
