Consolidated Baptist District Wo men’s A uxiliary Newsletter Presidential Greetings….. Volume 2, Issue 6 I am super excited about our 2016 Women's Retreat!! I am also excited to begin such an awesome transformational journey with you, but more importantly making sure we are "Standing Firm On The Word As Women of God!" What an awesome God we serve! As you come to worship with us as women of God, know that you have been chosen to be a part of something that has been purposed in God's heart. Ladies, this is the season for us as women of God to "Stand Firm on the Word of God." As women we tend to be everywhere, and may even waiver with the distractions of this ole world, but as we look to you God, help us to realize that if we just Stand Firm on the Word, everything will be alright!! As we labor, pray, and trust God together. I believe that God will do the work through all of us that transforms our lives and the lives of so many others in the way that we can't even imagine! As we move forward and give our best to God and ourselves- it does not yet appear of what we shall be! I look forward with eager anticipation to how God is going to move! I am excited to embark on such an amazing work with you ladies! To God be the Glory for truly- great things He has done! KEEP SMILING.........KEEP SHINING, but most of all KEEP PRAYING !!!!

Go far and Take GOD with you on your journey. Graduates: as you prepare to launch into the real world beyond college, or into the new world of independence after high school, I wanted to take a moment to congratulate each and every one of you. No matter what your circumstances in life — where you live, the family you were born into, what happened to you as a young child that was beyond your control — NOW is the time to step forward into your own true self and begin the chapter of life that is truly yours for the making. Education certainly has its place; but think on these words too: Jeremiah 29:11-13 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Proverbs 3:5-10 “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.” The CBDWA experienced a wonderful fellowship at its Annual Women in White Service. It was held on Friday, May 13,2016 at the Mount Calvary Baptist Church. Thank you Dr. Felix Williams, III for opening your doors and rendering the Word of God to us.

LaRonda Clay La’Ticia often says, “I am just a girl from Detroit, MI who had dreams of success.” In 1992, she moved to North Carolina with $15, four outfits and a dream. The thought of being what others said she would become gave her the perseverance to gain admittance to Livingstone College in Salisbury, NC. Her passion for helping people led her to transfer to Winston Salem State University where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing with honors. La’Ticia Nicole furthered her education by receiving a Master of Business Administration from the University of Phoenix in Phoenix. AZ. The two combined degrees allowed her to become an Executive Director in the long-term care industry thus accentuating her desire and passion for helping others. She credits her success to God, her mother, grandmother and a loving family who instilled strong morals, values and work ethics Atlanta-born gospel singer LaShun Pace first emerged during the mid-1970s, performing alongside her siblings in the group the Anointed Pace Sisters. . Her gift has set her apart from many of today’s talented crop of singers. Her singing and ministering skills were further honed while she toured with the Rev. Gene Martin and the Action Revival Team, and in 1998 she recorded” In the House of the Lord” with Dr. Jonathan Greer and the Cathedral of Faith Choirs for Savoy Records. The label signed Pace as a solo artist soon after, and in 1990 she issued her debut” He Lives”, which reached the number two spot on the Billboard gospel charts; the follow-up, ‘Shekinah Glory’, appeared in 1993. Three years later, Pace returned with “Wealthy Place”; in addition to successive releases including 1998's “Just Because God Said It”, she also enjoyed a career as an actress, most notably co-starring as the Angel of Mercy in the 1992 Steve Martin film “Leap of Faith” Now sit back and get ready to get your praise on as CBDWA welcomes Ms. LaShun Pace!

If you do not know a family member, loved one, friend, co worker who has been touched by this disease, you have certainly been blessed. Many of us do know the pain watching our loved ones suffer. In the same respect, many of us know the joy of God’s grace and mercy of witnessing our loved once triumphantly overcome this disease and endure as a cancer survivor. National Cancer Survivors Day is an annual, treasured Celebration of Life that is held in hundreds of communities nationwide, and around the world, on the first Sunday in June. It is a CELEBRATION for those who have survived, an INSPIRATION for those recently diagnosed, a gathering of SUPPORT for families, and an OUTREACH to the community. It is a day for everyone, whether you're a cancer survivor, a family member, friend, or medical professional. This day provides an opportunity for all people living with a history of cancer – including America’s more than 14.5 million cancer survivors – to connect with each other, celebrate milestones, and recognize those who have supported them along the way. It is also a day to draw attention to the ongoing challenges of cancer survivorship in order to promote more resources, research, and survivorfriendly legislation to improve cancer survivors’ quality of life. Our Prayers are with Dr. Thomas H. Peoples, Jr. during a recent illness and wishing for speedy recovery.
