The Potter’s Hand Church Ministries celebrated the 4th Pastoral Anniversary of Pastor Zachary B. Williams on Sunday, January 11, at 3:00 p.m. Bishop Daniel J. Richardson and Eagles’ Nest Cathedral International were in charge of the service, with Pastor Chancellor Turner, Senior Pastor of Mt. Olive Missionary Baptist Church in Fayetteville, Tennessee, serving as the Presiding Officiant.
The celebration began with Pastor Turner issuing the Call to Worship, setting a reverent and expectant atmosphere. Pastor Williams made his entrance escorted by his daughters, Little Misses Lena and Emoree Williams.
Deacon James Burt, Chairman of the Potter’s Hand Deacons Ministry, opened the service with prayer. Scripture readings followed as Reverend Sammie Milton quoted the King James Version of Jeremiah 3:15, Acts 20:28, and 2 Timothy 4:1–2 to the awaiting congregation. Worship in song was powerfully rendered by the Eagles’ Nest Cathedral International Choir.
The Greeting Ministry of The Potter’s Hand warmly welcomed both in-person guests and the online audience, acknowledging and celebrating four years of faithful service rendered by Pastor Williams. The congregation was further blessed through a moving liturgical dance by Minister Vanessa Fletcher-Ezekiel to “Grace Saved Me” by Tasha Cobbs.
Pastor Turner then introduced the Speaker of the Hour, referring to him as “a legend.” While reading from his biography, Pastor Turner shared that Bishop Daniel J. Richardson is anointed to deliver a Word of healing, life, hope, and deliverance—bringing freedom to the bound, restoration to the hurting, and salvation to the lost. He concluded the introduction by affirming that the Bishop believes in God and recognizes the power of the Word of God.
Bishop Richardson delivered a powerful and impactful message from 1 Timothy 6:20-21, entitled “Keep the Charge,” leaving the congregation encouraged, strengthened, and inspired. Following the sermon, Bishop Richardson extended the Invitation to Christian Discipleship, offering those present the opportunity to accept Christ and renew their commitment to Him.
The program concluded with Pastor Williams expressing heartfelt gratitude. He thanked Bishop Richardson and Eagles’ Nest Cathedral International for graciously accepting the invitation to share in the celebration, acknowledged his family for their unwavering love and support, and extended sincere appreciation to The Potter’s Hand Church Ministries for faithfully following his leadership over the past four years. The celebration stood as a beautiful testament to Pastor Williams’ leadership, dedication, and faithful service to God and The Potter’s Hand Church Ministries
