Urgent Prayer Needed

March on Washington

Our own 2nd Episcopal District PME Director Ms. Rita Willis attended the March on Washington in 1963 and reflected, "As a child of 13 years old, I distinctly recall splashing my feet in the Washington Monument Pool and listening to Dr. King's poignant speech-- I have a Dream."

On Saturday August 24, 2013 Ms. Willis returned to the National Mall to gather with thousands of others to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington. She described the experience as a "full circle moment." What a blessing!!!

Still Marching!!!

Can't stop, Won't Stop!!

Bishop DeVeaux  and Dr. Pam traveled to New York with Episcopal candidate Rev. Harry Seawright and members of Union Bethel AME to enjoy this wonderful Broadway musical!

Annual WMS Day

 

Two by two, they came down the aisle

Dressed in white and wearing a smile

The WMS was celebrating its Annual Day

Get ready, God was about to show up in a spectacular way

The welcome had been given and the litany read

A song was sung and the Decalogue said

Suddenly from the back, a loud boisterous noise arose

It was a sister dressed in a bright red mini wearing no panty hose

She ran to the front of the church to say

"I came by here to tell you a sister in the choir stopped by the shelter the other day,

put her arms around me and started to pray.

She called on God to take me from my misery and strife

And to bring joy and blessing into my life

Since that day, I have not been the same.

Church, now I do everything in Jesus' name."

When she said that, all glory broke out

Sister Minnie lost her hat and started to shout

The whole congregation began to erupt

And the Holy Ghost showed up

We'll never forget that WMS Day

When the Almighty Spirit had its way!
