Now thank we all our God,
With hearts and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things hath done;
In whom His world rejoices;
Who from our mother's arms,
Hath blessed us on your way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours today.

Two British Israel Bible Truth Fellowship (BIBTF) founder Trustees (Dr Michael Bennett and Mrs Anita Bennett) reached their ruby wedding anniversary on 28 August 2011. Their wedding service in 1971 was conducted by Rev. Charles Samuel McKelvey, who became founder Organiser of the BIBTF.

They celebrated reaching this new milestone at a Thanksgiving Service held on 8th October 2011 which was conducted by Mr Paul Boyd-Lee (BIBTF Secretary). The organist was Miss Christine Bennett (who was a bridesmaid at their wedding in 1971) and the congregation was welcomed to the service by Mr Peter Relf who host and chair the local BIBTF centre meetings at Gravesend, Kent. Guests at the Thanksgiving Service also included several other family members and friends who are members or supporters of BIBTF. Michael and Anita have three children and five grandchildren who all attended or took part in the Thanksgiving service.

Green pastures are before me,
Which yet I have not seen;
Bright skies will soon be o'er me,
Where the dark clouds have been,
My hope I cannot measure,
My path to lie is free;
My Saviour has my treasure,
And he will walk with me.
