2015 Lay Biennial

We are so proud of our own Bishop William P. DeVeaux, Sr who serves as the Chairperson of the Lay Commission. He brought the word for the opening worship service of the 34th Lay Biennial in North Charleston, SC on August 3, 2015. He preached from Acts 15 on the subject "We Need the Best When Serving Jesus." He told the congregation "don't let your personal problem mess up the mission." And we do not need "shake and bake" Christians! After the service the 2nd Episcopal District delegation and special friends gathered for a birthday celebration for Bishop DeVeaux. What a WONDERFUL time we had in the LORD!

2015 WMS Quadrennial

Thousands gathered in Indianapolis, IN July 17-21, 2015 for the WMS Quadrennial Convention. Highlights of the meeting included several power sermons. Senior Bishop John R. Bryant pointed out "If you are going to be a missionary worth your salt, then you must be a worshiper." Bishop Vashti McKenzie preached the closing service on the subject "Armed and Dangerous". Bishop Reginald Jackson reminded the convention "If we don't transform lives we're not going to change the world."There was a beautiful tribute in memory of Bishop Sarah Frances Taylor Davis. Our beloved Dr. Pam DeVeaux was honored with four other retiring WMS Supervisors. The meeting also included a presentation from the WMS Foundation of $78,000 raised in a walk-a-thon for aid to overseas districts. Grammy award winning gospel artist Yolanda Adams blessed the convention through a soulful, sanctified concert. What an awesome and blessed Connectional meeting we had. Congratulations to the 2nd Episcopal district's own Dr. Shirley Cason Reed, International WMS President. Thank God for a successful conference and traveling mercies!
