Belated congratulations to Perc and Shirley Burrows who a year ago celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary (on September 5th). For many years, Perc served GCI congregations in Canada as an elder. The couple now attend Cornerstone Christian Fellowship, one of GCI’s Toronto-area churches.
What a great achievement and wonderful example. In our world today
such marital faithfulness is by no means a given. There is much to
learn from your many experiences, I am sure.
Again, congratulations!
God bless,
Santiago and Elke Lange
Susan and I just flew through Toronto and I never go thru there unless I think first and foremost about the Burrows. (Yes even before the Blue Jays and the Maple Leafs!!)They were a pillar and a light through all the years of the Toronto churches which grew from its start in 1964 to about 1200 people in the 1990s. The Burrows were key to that sensational growth not only in numbers but in spirit and dedication to whatever Christ had asked the church to do. I am glad to see them looking so hale and hearty and delight in the fact that their service gets recognized in such a public way. They are a true treasure let me tell you as any minister who has passed thru BIG TO will tell you.
Much love and good wishes–Neil and Susan
Congratulations Perc and Shirley. What a wonderful goal to reach and may you have many more such celebrations. To think it was 36 years ago–1977-78–when we spent a Sabbatical together in Pasadena. What changes have taken place since then! All the work being done on the STP project with various traumatic events in the church at the time. But a time to get to know others such as yourselves who leave a lasting impression on others. Thank you for your example which you have had on me and many others.
Wishing you God’s blessing on your continued future together,
David.
