PASTOR’S MESSAGE
Joy!
Joy!
Joy!
Tavis Smiley is author of “How to Make Black
America Better.” While I am profoundly
disappointed in his dislike for President Barack
Obama, I agree with him on the following:
1. Register to vote or shut up.
SUNDAY, October 6, 2013
8.
Stop being jealous of one another. Learn to
look past the material things and see the
person for who he or she is.
9.
Say a prayer for someone besides yourself.
10.
Get involved in at least one church and/or
community organization.
11.
Hug your child, spouse and parent today.
12.
Love one another.
13.
Stop talking about it and be about it.
14.
Let God order your steps instead of the
world.
15.
P. U. S. H.:
2. Learn another language.
3. Stop using the “N” word.
4. Stop walking past each other and not
speaking.
5. Be on time for something…anything.
6. Get an annual checkup; herbs do not cure
everything.
7. In all thy ways acknowledge God and He
will direct your path.

22)
So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and
23)
found no water. And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was
24)
25)
called Marah. And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a
tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he
26)
proved them, And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give
ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am
27)
the LORD that healeth thee. And they came to Elim, where were twelve wells of water, and threescore and ten palm trees: and they encamped
there by the waters. Exodus 15:22-27 (KJV)

IN THE SPOTLIGHT
Southeast Delco Teachers and Administrator’s Luncheon
At
First African Baptist Church
By Sister Delores Ellison
On August 27, 2013 the fifth annual Back to School Teachers Luncheon was held here at
First African Baptist Church. Over three hundred and twenty administrators, directors,
teachers and support personnel scurried into the “AGAPE ROOM” with great excitement
and anticipation. Chatter was everywhere, along with hugs, handshakes and laughter. The
staff was overjoyed to celebrate a new school year.
The teachers were entertained by Chad Hudson, Autumn White-Bankston, Kiara Brown,
Jasmine Ferguson and Miai Hill. The Students shared their learning experiences from last
semester and what they hoped to learn this year.
The teachers were told they are like gardeners, weeding, shaping and clearing space for
growth in our children’s minds.
In conclusion, Superintendent Stephen Butz and teacher Dorothy Barella cited the food
and fellowship as a welcomed treat. It is a rare occasion when all of the staff can gather as
a group and share a meal, and First African made it possible.
Joy was had by all.
HEALTHCARE MINISTRY
A NEW MINISTRY AT FIRST AFRICAN
TIP FOR OCTOBER
COMFORT CARE SUPPORT MINISTRY
Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer found in
women in the United States. It is also the leading cause of
cancer deaths among women between the ages of 20- 39
and 40- 59. Breast cancer occurs when breast cells that line
the ducts become malignant (cancerous). Unlike benign
(not cancerous) tumors, malignant tumors are made up of
abnormal cells that grow without normal controls and
invade normal breast tissue. These tumors can spread
outside the breasts to other parts of the body through the
lymph system or blood stream.
Early detection and treatment offer the best chance of
surviving breast cancer. When breast cancer is confined to
the breast, the 5- year survival rate is 98 percent. You must
take an active role in the health of your breast and develop
your personal 3- step early detection plan. Your plan must
include:
1. Annual screening mammography for women
starting at age 40. Women under age 40 with either
a family history of breast cancer or other concerns
about their personal risk should consult with a
health care provider about risk assessment (your
chance of getting breast cancer), when to start
getting mammograms and how often to have them.
2. Clinical breast exams (CBE) by a health care provider
at least every 3 years starting at age 20, and
annually after 40.
3. Monthly breast self- examination (BSE) starting by
age 20 to become familiar with the normal look and
feel of your breasts so you will be aware if a change
occurs.
If you have any warning signs you must not ignore. See your
health care provider if you notice any of the following:
 Lump, hard knot or thickening
 Swelling, warmth, redness or darkening
 Change in the size or shape
 Dimpling or puckering of the skin
 Itchy, scaly sore or rash on your nipple
 Pulling in of your nipple or other parts
 Nipple discharge that starts suddenly
 New pain in one spot that does not go away

First African Baptist Church has initiated a new
ministry called the Comfort Care Support Ministry.
This ministry will provide support and COMFORT to
members of First African Baptist Church who have a
life-limiting illness. A life-limiting illness is one that
has reached a stage that is progressive and incurable
and the person has some combination of the
following: is not eating and drinking, needs
considerable assistance with bathing and dressing, is
nearly bedridden, is weak and has weight loss.
Eight members of First African Baptist Church have
completed an intensive training program to serve as
Comfort Care Supporters to assist in bridging the
communication gap about end of life care among
health professionals, patients and their families. The
Comfort Care Supporters will provide faith-based
support to persons and their families facing a lifelimiting illness and end-of-life issues. The Comfort
Care Supporters will serve as a guide for the patient
and family. They are like a GPS. The GPS does not
decide where a person goes but it helps by giving
directions based on where a person says they want to
go. Comfort Care Supporters will also help by
explaining terms and resources associated with end of
life care. The Comfort Care Supporters will begin
visiting members who are identified as having a lifelimiting illness beginning Fall 2013.
Additionally, the Comfort Care Support Ministry will
offer workshops on various aspects on end of life care.
Members of First African will receive information and
materials on end of life care.
This project has been fully supported and endorsed by
Reverend Dent in collaboration with Dr. Jerry Johnson
and Ms. Tara Hayden of the University of Pennsylvania
Perelman School of Medicine, Division of Geriatrics.

THE WORD OF LIFE BOOKSTORE
By Sister Janie Strong and Deaconess Geneva Eldridge
The CLC Book Center at First African Baptist Church in
Sharon Hill, PA is the fulfillment of a long term dream of
Pastor Richard Dent and the First African Baptist Church
family. This historic partnership with CLC had been in
the planning and discussion phase for nearby three
years. To God’s glory, this plan was fully realized
Sunday, October 28, 2007, when CLC launched its second
church store in the USA. Today, this store is a beacon of
hope to the Sharon Hill community and a resource
center for this vibrant congregation.
The purpose of Word of Life Bookstore is to provide our
church family and the surrounding community with
materials needed to live a fuller, more victorious life.
Seekers can find healing, encouragement, and wisdom
with a variety of bibles, books, music and devotionals, all
available to help you walk in a more intimate
relationship with the Lord.
Deaconess Shirley Brockenborough
Ministry Leader
Christian Literature Crusade
Church Store Coordinator
At our September breakfast, we received a
powerful challenge to service by Rev. Beverly
Hudson. All present were surely inspired to move
forward to do more. Approximately twenty women
accepted the challenge presented by the theme “I
will do more than belong, I will participate. They
signed on to become a member of a ministry. That
opportunity is still available to you if you are not
connected. For information on how to contact a
ministry leader, contact the church secretary or
church clerk.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. At our
next breakfast we will celebrate the lives of not
only breast cancer survivors but survivors of all
types of cancer. Please join us as we listen to their
testimonies of triumph. Our special guest will be
Sister Theresa Turner, a two time breast cancer
survivor. We encourage you to invite your family
and friends and anyone who can be an encourager
or anyone who is in need of an encouraging word.
Don’t miss our surprise fun activity.

THE PROFILE AND PURPOSE OF A KINGDOM MAN
19-21
What actually took place is this: I tried keeping rules and working
my head off to please God, and it didn’t work. So I quit being a “law
man” so that I could be God’s man. Christ’s life showed me how, and
enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed,
I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no
longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your
good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives
in me. The life you see me living is not “mine,” but it is lived by faith
in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I am not
going to go back on that. Galatians 2:19-21 (MSG)

GOSSIP GAL’S HIGHLIGHTS!
A Night at the Theatre
By Sister Gwen Freeman
ANNUAL YOUTH FALL REVIVAL
Sponsored by the youth of
First African Baptist Church
THEME:
“FOLLOW ME TO GET TO HIM.”
John 14:1-4
On Saturday, September 7, 2013 B.W. Watkins Scholarship
Ministry presented an original play entitled: “The Gossip
Gals” that was written and directed by Reverend Crystal Jay.
This play focuses on how we handle gossip. Gossip is easily
spread within the church. The cast includes; Exh. Alice Evans ,
Reverend Gennifer Reed, Sister Erica Bennett, Sister Denise
Patterson, Brother Tyrone Macey, Brother Donald Jay,
Brother Chaz McGill, our very own Brother Joseph Barton who
plays Pastor D. L. Love and musician Brother Nate Jordan.
There was an original song that Reverend Jay wrote along
with some old familiar songs of the church that were sung by
some of the cast members. This hilarious play was well
received by over 350 audience members. The question
becomes “Are you spreading GOSSIP or THE GOSPEL?”
In a candid interview with Reverend Jay, she revealed how
she was led to create such a vivid word from GOD through
this play and others like it. The Ministry is called CME
Ministry (Christ Means Everything). This ministry was birthed
in 2006 while Reverend Jay was affiliated with Mount Zion
CME Church, Sharon Hill, Pa. The Ministry was created to help
the audience apply the teachings of GOD while they are yet
struggling with their faith amidst life’s daily struggles and to
let them know that while we are going through, GOD’s ever
presence is still surrounding us. Reverend Jay’s plays depict
the many challenges we all are currently going through, have
already been through or those that are on the way. Reverend
Jay’s prayer is that the audience will receive life lessons and
experiences through her plays. Her goal is to bring the bible
to life in the now time. The GOSSIP GALS is the second play
that she was BLESSED to create. The first play in this series
was entitled “The Senior Prom” with the three original cast
members Exh. Alice Evans, Reverend Gennifer Reed and
Reverend Crystal Jay. May I say that my interview with the
other cast members was quite interesting, especially
Reverend Gennifer Reed who plays “Gert” in this play. I
have been told that a third play in this series “Here Comes the
Bride” will relate to forgiveness. Look for this play February
of 2014. We pray that GOD will continue to use Reverend
Crystal Jay and her anointed cast as they deliver a word
through drama to their audience, bringing the BIBLE TO
LIFE………. AMEN

To Pastor Dent, Mrs. Dent and our First African Baptist
Church Family
Thank you very much for the beautiful Resolutions, the many
acts of kindness, and every prayer petitioned and all of the
love shown to Sylvia and me during a very difficult time in
our lives. Losing my brother so suddenly was surreal but
with continued prayers I know that God will make it easier.
We are blessed that God has placed people like you in our
lives; it lifts our hearts to know how much you care.
May God continue to bless each of you.
Henry & Sylvia Carr
Pastor Richard & Beatrice Dent and First African Church
Family,
This is just a note to thank everyone for your care and
concern toward me during my recent illness. Pastor Dent,
thank you for mentioning me during our Morning Prayer
service. You are my friend and it was indeed a pleasure to
hear you call out my name personally.
I want to say thanks to my two sisters, Cynthia and Estell and
my three daughters, Renee, Sheila and Kimberly for their
tender loving care.
Special thanks to Chosen 300, Lydia Brown and Sam and
Karen Sudler.
God Bless all of you.
Love and Joy,

HAVE YOU READ THE BOOK?
Jesus invites us to come and dine with Him as did
the disciples. After having been fed by Him and
after having fellowshipped with Him, the disciples’
doubts dissolved. Their faith was renewed (John 21:
4-14). Likewise, the answers you seek and the
strength you need can be found only by feeding on
God’s word and by fellowshipping with Him in
prayer.
COME TO BIBLE STUDY!
