Our days are ordered by schedules that do not feed the deep hunger of our
souls.
People: Bread of heaven, feed us until we want no more.

We live our lives searching for a way out of the wilderness.
People: Bread of heaven, feed us until we want no more.

Thanks be to God, he waters the thirsty land.

CHURCH COVENANT
Having been led, as we believe, by the Spirit of God to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our
Saviour; and on the profession of our faith, having been baptized in the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, we do now in the presence of God, angels and this assembly,
most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with one another, as one body in Christ.
We engage, therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, to walk together in Christian love; to strive for
the advancement of this church in knowledge and holiness; to give it a place in our affections,
prayers and services above every organization of human origin; to sustain its worship, ordinances,
discipline and doctrine; to contribute cheerfully and regularly, as God has prospered us, towards its
expenses, for the support of a faithful and evangelical ministry among us, the relief of the poor
and the spread of the Gospel throughout the world. In case of difference of opinion in the church,
we will strive to avoid a contentious spirit, and if we cannot unanimously agree, we will cheerfully
recognize the right of the majority to govern.
We also engage to maintain family and secret devotion; to study diligently the word of God, to
religiously educate our children; to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintance; to walk
circumspectly in the world; to be kind and just to those in our employ, and faithful in the service
we promise others; endeavoring in the purity of heart and good will towards all men to exemplify
and commend our holy faith.
We further engage to watch over, to pray for, to exhort and stir up each other unto every good
word and work; to guard each other’s reputation, not needlessly exposing the infirmities of others;
to participate in each other’s joys, and with tender sympathy bear one another’s burdens and
sorrows; to cultivate Christian courtesy; to be slow to give or take offense, but always ready for
reconciliation, being mindful of the rules of the Saviour in the eighteenth chapter of Matthew, to
secure it without delay; and through life, amid evil report, and good report, to seek to live to the
glory of God, who hath called us out of darkness into his marvelous light.
When we remove from this place, we engage as soon as possible to unite with some other
church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God’s word.
MISSIONS SUNDAY GUEST PREACHER
REVEREND GILBERT PICKETT, SR.
Reverend Gilbert Pickett, Sr. was born in Flushing, NY,
and raised in the Corona-East Elmhurst community of
Queens. He was baptized at age seven at Mount Horeb
Baptist Church by the church’s late Pastor, Rev. Dr.
Edward Jarvis.
After graduating from Jamaica H.S., Rev. Pickett entered
the United States Air Force in September of that same
year, and served until 1986. In the Air Force, he
received extensive training in Administration and
Procurement.
Reverend Pickett acknowledged his call to ministry in 1988, and was licensed in May
that year at Metropolitan Baptist Church in Cocoa, FL, under the pastorate of Rev. V.
Benford Friar II. Following his licensing, Pastor Pickett returned to New York and
began working at Mount Horeb B.C., under Rev. Jarvis. He served as Associate/Youth
Minister.
In New York, the Reverend enrolled at New York Theological Seminary Certificate
Program and graduated in May 1990. He continued Biblical Studies at both the College
of New Rochelle and Nyack Alliance Theological Seminary.
Ordained in July 1992, by September 1993, Reverend Pickett was called to Mount Olive
Baptist Church in Oyster Bay, LI, as their seventh Pastor. He served that congregation
faithfully for almost five years until Mount Horeb Baptist Church called him to be their
fourth Pastor in March 1998.
Pastor Pickett’s compassion for people and passion for missionary work was displayed
during relief efforts for Hurricane Katrina victims in the State of Louisiana. Pastor
Pickett made two trips to New Orleans and Baton Rouge and the Mount Horeb church
collected and shipped over 30 barrels of clothing, shoes and linen to the victims.
After serving on the Home Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc
for 12 years as Board Member-At-Large, Reverend Pickett was appointed Chairman in
2010. Since that appointment, he has led the Board in community Mission Day
Outreach projects in Indianapolis, IN; Orlando, FL; East St. Louis, IL; and Atlanta, GA.
A sought after Revivalist/Evangelist, Pastor Pickett has conducted revivals throughout
the United States as well as St. Thomas and St. Croix, USVI.
Earlier this year, Pastor Pickett was appointed as the Executive Secretary of the Home
Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention USA, Inc. and on July 17, 2015 was
elected Moderator of the Eastern Baptist Association of New York, Inc. He also serves
as the Chairman, Home Mission Board of the Empire Baptist Missionary Convention of
NY; former President of the Corona-East Elmhurst Clergy Association; former
President of the Sunday School and B.T.U. Auxiliary of the Eastern Baptist Association
of NY, Inc., and a member of the Baptist Minister's Conference of Greater New York
and Vicinity. He also serves as a Clergy Liaison for the 115th Precinct.
To God be the Glory for the great things He has done through His man servant.
THE ABYSSINIAN BAPTIST CHURCH MISSIONARY MINISTRY
REPORT OF STEWARDSHIP 2015
The mission of The Abyssinian Baptist Church Missionary Ministry is “to evangelize and
spread the Gospel through intercessory prayer, visitation, scripture reading, food distribution,
educational workshops and donations, as well as faithful service to the sick and shut-in, the
incarcerated, seniors, and those in need, locally, nationally, and internationally.
Visitation
Abyssinian Missionaries shared encouragement with the church’s sick and shut-in
members through cards, calls, home and hospital visits. We further supported grieving
missionary members and their families. Abyssinian Missionaries delivered over 30
Easter plants and The Daily Word to Sick & Shut-in members and others during the
season celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Sadly, this year we lost longtime
member, Deaconess Florence Elleby.
Foreign Mission
The Abyssinian Missionary Ministry also supports the church’s affiliate, Abyssinian Fund,
with donations and assistance. We are committed to assisting in the work of Aby
Fund, and remain supportive of international projects supported by the National Baptist
Convention, USA, Inc. We made our annual contribution to the Hospital in Malawi,
Africa, attended The Foreign Mission Rally in November 2015, and maintain our
membership in the Loyal Boosters.
Home Missions
At home, we donated clothing to various nursing homes through the Women’s
Auxiliary of the Empire Baptist Missionary Convention (EBMC). During the upcoming
holiday season, Abyssinian Missionaries will once again support local seniors and
families in the Harlem Community who are in need through the Charlyce B. Sampson
Christmas Love Baskets effort. We anticipate distributing 200 baskets, and thank God
for the generous donations from numerous Abyssinian service ministries and church
members.
At Large
Throughout 2015, our members supported Harlem and greater NYC Churches
anniversary observances, revivals, workshops and conferences. Our members attended
the National Baptist Convention in September 2015; all four sessions of the United
Missionary Baptist Association; and, supported and serve the Empire Baptist Missionary
Convention.
The Missionary Ministry has, and will continue to achieve its mission duties. We seek
the Lord’s guidance in our plan to expand Foreign and Home Mission endeavors.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE
regarding
TIME CHANGE OF ABYSSINIAN’S
SECOND WORSHIP SERVICE
Beloved,
As we consistently work to win more souls for Christ by enhancing
The Abyssinian Baptist Church worship experience, be informed that
on Sunday, December 6, 2015, our second worship service will begin
at 11:30 AM.
This change helps us to serve you with greater efficiency in several
timesaving ways…

The 9:00 AM service is not hurried;

Additional 30 minutes provides Abyssinian ministers, officers, and
choir, as well as outgoing/incoming attendees with adequate time
to transition between worship services, and allows for prompt
start of the second worship service;

Prevents overcrowding in halls and corridors between services;

Gives members and visitors additional minutes for timely arrival
to second service;

Parking attendants have additional time to facilitate parking space
accessibility between services;

With new definite start time of second worship service,
Livestream worshipers experience shorter time lapse between
services, thus avoiding prolonged display of “we will start shortly”
prompt.
We remain grateful to God for your faithful support of
The Abyssinian Baptist Church
