It is an awesome and overwhelming feeling of appreciation to be able to witness the Grand Ceremony
commemorating the completion of the major renovation of the church.
I can truly feel the compassion of the pastor to rebuild / in rebuilding the church.
Are the above sentences fine/natural? Which words in bold should I use?
Thanks.

I think that, although the two sentences are technically OK, they are a little clunky.
And, since my cats don't have any pajamas, by thinking that I am the cat's pajamas I think that I don't exist.

Thanks, Faldage. I agree. That's why I would like to know how to phrase them correctly.

I know you exist since you are on that other word site and participate in conversation there. So you are not a hologram, please don't think yourself out of existence. I had to look up 'cat's pajamas' to figure out what it meant.

And speaking of fine/natural/clunky:
Say tsuwm, what snazz rule ok's your strange quirk of beginning each new sentence with a lower-case letter?

It's the rule that says normal rules don't apply when you're just goofing around in a non-formal context. It has the added advantage of eliminating people who apply inapplicable rules from the group of people who pay attention to what you're saying rather than how you're saying it.
