The opening worship service will be held at 8 a.m. Churches from Brazil, Canada, and abroad will be connected for this special event.
Maranatha Christian Church will dedicate its temple in Gardner on Sunday, November 19th, at 8 a.m. at 28 Green St. For this special service, the church has invited local authorities, former members, and leadership of the church that used to own the building. Banners and flyers have been posted, inviting community members from Gardner and surrounding towns.
Churches from Brazil, Canada, and abroad will be connected online. A message will be transmitted from Brazil by Pastor Gedelti Victalino Teixeira Gueiros, who is the President of the Maranatha Christian Churches’ Presbytery worldwide. The President of Maranatha Christian Church of America, Pastor Ronildo Scherrer, will deliver opening and closing remarks.
“While we witness an overall failure in the Christian world, the Lord has blessed us with the opportunity to acquire properties and rescue them, so that the Word of Salvation and the teaching of the Revealed Doctrine may continue to be preached. This is especially important in the present moment, as it is the eve of the Rapture of the Faithful Church,” said Pastor Ronildo Scherrer.
“The name Maranatha means ‘The King is coming’. We have an active group of youths who are experiencing the presence of the Living God and listening to the Holy Spirit’s guidance. They are instrumental in spreading the Good News of Jesus’ love and the readiness we need for His return,” added Pastor Ronildo.
Proclaiming a message of hope, salvation, and the return of Jesus, the church has seen a steady growth in the number of members and has conducted over 20 baptism services just this year within North America.
About Maranatha Church
Originating in Vila Velha, Brazil, Maranatha Christian Church is a pentecostal denomination with five thousand churches within Brazil, and locations in several countries worldwide: the Americas, West and East Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. In the United States and Canada, there are approximately 40 churches, with 12 in Massachusetts.
Guided by the Holy Spirit and without spotlighting individuals, everyone, including pastors, volunteers. Maranatha Church recently celebrated its 55th anniversary. Utilizing modern communication technologies, churches worldwide are connected weekly for the Sunday Bible School broadcast in Portuguese, with live interpretation in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Russian.
“This connection is fundamental so that we are all in one fellowship, receiving the same teachings and doctrine. All our churches engage in the same Bible Studies, mutually strengthening one another and deepening the understanding of God’s Word. There is uniformity, and you feel at home at any of our locations,” highlighted Pastor Ronildo Scherrer.
Trumpets and Feasts
The following Sunday, on November 26th, at 9 a.m. (Eastern), the Gardner Maranatha Church will reopen for the “International Service Trumpets and Feasts 3”. For this worldwide service, there will be translation available in 10+ languages, and the church will discuss current events from a biblical perspective.
The focus will be on discerning prophecies in the Bible, their fulfillment, and how these prophecies apply to the world, Israel, and the church. Pastor Ronildo Scherrer emphasized that “it will be an eye-opening event. People feel hopeless without understanding the wars, conflicts, changes in nature, and political instability. Our message is that there is a way out for mankind and there’s still an opportunity for salvation and peace for our souls,” he concluded. All services and events are open to the community.
