On Sunday 7 April 2024, the congregation of Highbury could share a beautiful milestone of retired Shepherd Melvin Dodgen and sister Joy Dodgen as the District Rector, Shepherd Cedric Hagglund, bestowed the 50th wedding anniversary blessing on the couple.
Shepherd Dodgen was the congregation's first Rector, when it was inauguarated on 12 January 1995, by the then District Apostle Ernst Graf.
Their bond was a reflection of support, love and understanding through special and testing times.
Shepherd Hagglund encouraged the couple to continue putting Jesus Christ first in their ship of life as they are still sailing this wonderful, joyous voyage together.
