Western N.C. Annual Conference-Opening

The opening service of the Western North Carolina Annual Conference was highlighted by the preacher of the hour Rev. Dr. Ronald L. Owens-St. Joseph A.M.E.-Durham. The sermon text was taken from II Chronicles 1:7-13 ad I Kings 3:9, 10 with a topic of "Leadership that Pleases God". The preacher reminded us that it is not about us--but it's about God! Let God have HIS own way in our lives because God cannot bless mess.

 



The evening service was governed by the Sons of Allen. The guest preacher was Rev. Robert L. Goode- Springdale A.M.E.- Alamance. His text was taken from II Timothy 4:6,7 using the topic-I Have Faith".  The evening concluded with the traditional recognition of the Men of the Year. This also included the Bishop's Award for Business and Professional Service to Mr. Sylvester Smith, Cary, NC. Congratulations!
