It was veered toward the youth to come out and just have a night of worship and thanksgiving,\u201d said  Grace Christian pastor Fred Fatialofa. \u201cI wanted to bring together other youth groups from various churches to be part of this historic occasion. We have a few churches decline because of conflicts in schedule with their church programs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The two-hour event featured performances from church groups, worship songs, human videos, and creative dancing.<\/p>\n<p>The pastor said the celebration\u2019s primary purpose was to acknowledge God \u201cfor he is the reason why Grace Christian Ministries have made it this far.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fatialofa expressed his gratitude to Senior Pastor Rev.
