Leading Lady Honored, Holiday Schedule, New Year's Eve Celebration (Pastoral Emphasis from 12/20)

Thanks to all who came out for the Ordination Service for Ministers Harrison and Clantan. Pastor Norm Peart of Grace Bible Fellowship brought a great message to encourage the ordination candidates to make sure their life is right first before asking others to listen and follow them.

My wife and Leading Lady, Anita Harris, will be honored at the Overflow Woman Awards Ceremony on Monday, January 18th, at the Durham Marriott Hotel. The theme is "Honoring the Queens That Serve in the Kingdom of God!" The event is a formal affair and the attire for the evening is Black Tie! Tickets are on sale for only $8 until December 22.

Everyone is invited to join us for our New Year's Eve Service on Thursday, December 31st, at 10:00pm. We will be doing something different this year. So arrive on time because you will not want to miss it.

Holiday Schedule: All Bible Study classes as well as Prayer Meeting & Testimony Service are canceled for the rest of the year and will resume beginning January 5th. This will give a break to our teachers and deacons so they can enjoy extra time with family.

Don't forget our Christmas Giving Campaign to build our Transportation Ministry. Your sacrificial gift of $25 or $50 will help us purchase a 15-passenger bus so we can provide a way for people to attend worship services, experience fellowship, and hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Mortgage Burning Ceremony (10.6.24)

Today is a day of celebration and gratitude as we come together to witness the burning of our church’s mortgage! This moment represents years of faith, commitment, and sacrificial giving from this congregation. It’s a testament to God’s faithfulness and the dedication of His people. What we are celebrating today is not just the end of a financial obligation, but the beginning of new possibilities for missions, outreach, and service in our community.   ---     Psalm 127:1 says, ‘Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.’   This building has been more than just bricks and mortar; it has been a spiritual home where so many lives have been touched by the gospel. We recognize that while we’ve paid off the mortgage, it is the Lord who has truly built this house, sustaining us through every season.   --- History of the Vision         Though this chapter is closing, the mission God has ...
