It always gives me much joy and love to give words
of exhortation to my Memorial Baptist Church
Family: to my Anniversary Committee— thank you
for all of your hard work and dedication; to the
Culinary committee, Music, Worship, Praise &
Dance Ministries, and to the Pastor’s Aids Ministry, my Ushers, Nurses, and Security, Sound, and
Administration Ministries—thank you for your
support and all that you do; to the Prayer, Christian
Education, Children Youth, Young Adults, Seniors,
Women’s and Men’s Ministry, Marriage and
Singles Ministries, the Arts, Bereavement, Missionary, and Tourist Ministries— thank you for
continuing to press on. And, to the leadership, my
Deacons, Trustees, Finance Committee, Mothers
and Elders, the Pastorium and Amor Bearers—
thank you for your love, concern, and commitment
to this Pastor. Thank you to all who participated, to
everyone present, and those who wanted to be here
but could not. A special thank you to my Colleagues
and my Friends in the ministry, to my Sons,
Daughters-in-law, Grandchildren, to my God-son,
and to my entire family, to my Pastor and especially
to my Husband— thank you for always being there
and for the preached Word that went forth. It truly

To God be the glory for the things He had done during

Thanks you all.
