Hemingway Temple AME Men & Women's Day Celebration 2015

Bishop DeVeaux and Dr. Pam were the co-preachers on the theme-"Men and Women United Together Through Study, Worship and Praise". Both preached on the subject- "The Battle is Not Yours, It's the Lord's". The scriptural reference for the tag team sermon was 1 Samuel 17:45. They reminded us that if The Lord says so, The Lord will make a way, don't believe me--just watch! God will equip us with the weapons necessary to overcome the giants in our lives. AMEN!!!

 

Jerusalem AME Church 17th Anniversary

Jerusalem AME-Clinton, MD and its founding Pastor, Rev. Diane Johnson, celebrated 17 years of kingdom building.  Bishop DeVeaux was the guest preacher speaking on the subject-"Sir, I wish to see Jesus"-taken from John 12.

Allen Chapel AME Annual Missionary Day

Dr. Pam was the guest speaker for the Nettie Norris Missionary Society Annual Missionary Day at Allen Chapel AME Church-Silver Spring, MD. The theme was "Be a Living Sacrifice to God" taken from Romans 12:1-8. Dr. Pam spoke from 2 Kings 4:1-7 on the subject-"Living in the Overflow" reminding us that evil only prevails when the people of God are silent.  Living in the overflow is living the life of Jesus Christ. Also, use what you have and present your "empty vessel" to God to allow Him to fill it with His grace and mercy.

AME Empowerment Center

.On September 19, 2015 Bishop DeVeaux and Dr. Pam traveled to Raleigh, NC for a marvelous occasion!! Due to the tireless efforts of so many in maintaining the AME Men's Shelter in Raleigh, NC beautiful renovations recently completed including new tile flooring, new kitchen, modernized marble shower stalks and a new freezer. The center was renamed--AME Empowerment Center- and dedicated. 

The official dedication was preceded by a worship service hosted by St. Paul AME-where Sister Shirley Sheares, Empowerment Center Director, served as the evening's worship leader. We were favored by music provided by the St. Paul AME church choir and a powerful proclaimed word by guest preacher, Rev. Dr. Staccato Powell, Pastor of Grace AME Zion Church. The sermon came from Matthew 25 and the preacher reminded us to know God for yourself and let your works speak for you--that is the bottom line!

Most notable were the tearful and emotional words of celebration given by residents of the Empowerment Center. We can all learn a lesson from them--your condition is not your conclusion! 

We encourage everyone to visit the Empowerment Center and we solicit your financial support for the center's ongoing efforts. All donations can be made out of the Washington Conference placing Empowerment Center in the memo section of your check. Please visit www.2ndamec.org for additional information. Thank you!
