Freeport Grand Bahama Island - Management and staff of The Grand Bahama Port Authority, Limited (GBPA) began the holiday season with a corporate prayer and thanksgiving service this past Sunday with Pastor Cedric Beckles and the members of Community Church.
In keeping with the “Angels of Hope” theme being promoted by GBPA throughout the Christmas season, Group Vice President, Ginger Moxey admonished employees as well as the wider community to be mindful of the needs of the less fortunate.
“Being very mindful of the current economic environment GBPA chose ‘Angels of Hope’ as its theme for the 2010 holiday season. The intent of our theme is to inspire the spirit of hope, peace, joy and goodwill throughout the communities of Grand Bahama, as we celebrate with family and friends over the coming weeks,” she stated.
“So on this note, we at the GBPA would like to encourage our employees and the wider community to take a moment this holiday season and become an Angel of Hope to someone you know may be in need. We can each resolve to be Angels of Hope whether it’s purchasing some additional grocery items when you visit the store or by preparing additional spaces at your table when you sit today for Sunday dinner.”

Mrs. Moxey concluded that she hopes there will be random acts of kindness sprouting throughout Grand Bahama communities.
“I believe that no act of kindness, no matter how small, ever goes unnoticed. We can all attest to the fact that simple gestures as these can have a significant impact in the heart and life of someone in need. I also believe that in doing so, we lay a better foundation to build better communities, a unified nation and a brighter future for generations to come,” Moxey continued.
“So it is my wish that in doing acts of kindness in giving hope to others in your own unique way…being and angel of hope – will express the true meaning of Christmas, not only in this holiday season but during every day of the New Year.”
In the midst of it all, Moxey added that we should all count our many blessings.
“As we look forward to the Christmas holiday season, it is customary that we think of our family gatherings, festive meals, gift giving and the wonderful time of fellowship with our friends and loved ones. These are all blessings that we have received and for which we must be very thankful,” she continued.
“It is a pleasure to be here worshipping with the leaders and members of Life Community church and thank you for extending such a warm and friendly welcome to our GBPA family as we close out the 2010 year with this corporate prayer and thanksgiving service.
Thanking employees for their support, Moxey shared “I see your support as a symbol of unity and hope for the future as we prepare for the new business year.”
Piggybacking on the “hope” theme, Pastor Cedric Beckles, Life Community Church’s founder and pastor admonished congregants that there is hope even in the midst of their failure – and even through such weaknesses, they can experience God.
He said that many people run from God when they fail instead of running to Him, but as long as you are human, you are subject to its frailties.
However, he encouraged that in midst of failure, there is hope because not only will you recognize your weaknesses but you will realize how dependent you are on God, how you can grow as an individual and you will learn from your mistakes.
Having learned from this experience, he said, you place yourself in a better position for God to use you in His perfect plan and to fulfill your life’s purpose.
