NLBC to host ‘Ole Skool’ party tomorrow night
Speaking to Virgin Islands News Online today July 24, 2014, Bishop of the New Line Baptist Church John I. Cline said, “As a church, we have decided to join the celebrations in this particular way by having a celebration of dance. It will be a combination of dance, fashion shows and different activities [tomorrow] night.”
“So we have called it the 60s ‘Ole Skool’ party, but the idea behind it is being in solidarity with our nation in remembering the painful history of our forefathers…the lives that were lost, the sacrifices that were made, and because they stood up for us, we can stand today,” said Bishop Cline.
“We do not stand with our heads bowed because we have managed to, I believe, fulfil their dream for us, that we would live in a free, peaceful and safe society that is prosperous. And I believe all those things they have died for. So we come together not only for thanksgiving to God, but in celebration and in solidarity with our nation,” he said.
“If you look throughout the Bible you will see where the Jewish people celebrated their deliverance, whether it was the Passover, whether it was Yum Kippur, whether it was Rosh Hashanah. They are a people who remember their past…and I believe that as a people we have not done well in remembering our past and I believe it is incumbent upon us, not only the Government but the churches and every aspect of society to be reminded that we didn’t just get here by ourselves but that we stand on shoulders of blood, sweat, tears, sacrifice and death. So we celebrate,” he said.
The event starts at 7:00 pm and tickets (available at the Save the Seed Energy Centre) are $10 before the event and $12 at the door. There will be prizes for best 60s costume, most outrageous 60s footwear and there will also be a singalong karaoke contest. Food and drinks will be on sale.

"Don't love the world or the things in the world........"
The church must raise up a standard. You can't follow the trends of the sinful world. How are we going to draw men to Christ with this unholy living?
Then there's 2 Samuel 6:14 David danced (lets hope no one dances out there clothes) (another celebration).
The point is Christians can have fun too its Emancipation for goodness sake and they decided to have a party in a clean fun environment, shucks, I swear sometimes these people who blog these one pointers live in a BOX.
I will be there with bells on and guess what I am a Christian
A few more p.....ts on the Mercedes (plural) sorted out huh J...?
