May the joy of the Lord be
yours as you continue to
give thanks and service to
Him everyday!

I write this communication
primarily to share
information about and
the availability of the
newly published CME Usher
Manual that was written by
our Connectional Usher
President, Ms. Diana
Winton. Dr. Victor Taylor
arranged to have the manuals
printed by the CME
Publishing House, just prior
to the 37th
General Conference. All of
the 300 copies that were
made available for sale at
the General Conference for a
price of $10.00 were sold.
I have since secured the
remaining manuals and they
are available through my
office.
-
-
I am, thus, requesting that
Usher Ministry organizations
at the regional, district,
and local levels of our
church secure copies of the
manual for information,
teaching and training.
We have a wonderful
opportunity as a church
to establish connectivity
throughout this very vital
ministry by studying and
teaching from a manual
written by the CME
Connectional Usher President
- for CME Ushers.
There is no further need for
Ushers, at any level of our
church, to incorporate
processes and procedures
taken from manuals printed
by other denominations or
individuals. In Sister
Winton’s words, “We
wish to see and help promote
our Ushers being on one
accord”.

Please go to
http://www.c-m-e.org/core/layministry.htm
and download the Lay
Ministry Order Form and
place your order. You can
receive your order by mail
or arrange to pick it up at
the up-coming CME
Convocation, September
21-24, 2010 in Louisville,
KY.
Additionally,
relative to the Convocation,
- I am encouraging Lay
Council members, Stewards,
Stewardesses, Ushers, and
other laity to register and
be in attendance to share
in the assemblies and
teaching sessions for these
ministries. Our
focus will be on the
Quadrennial Theme: “An
Essential Church:” Poised
For 21st Century
Ministry.
-
-
As I close, allow me to
provide the latest update
that I have relative to Mrs.
Faye McGhee, who was
hospitalized and underwent
emergency surgery while at
the General Conference in
Mobile, AL. Faye is still
in Mobile at the Infirmary
Medical Center. She is doing
better but is in need of our
constant prayers. Any cards
or expressions should be
sent to the McGhee's
family address: 303 Serena
Street, Kettering, MD
20774-1933.
-
-
Again, may the joy of the
Lord continue to be yours!

Sincerely & In Christ I
trust,
