I
want to first thank the
delegates of the 2010 General
Conference for electing me as
your General Secretary of Lay
Ministry. To those who were not
delegates but provided
encouragement and support, I am
sincerely appreciative and
eternally grateful. As Lay
Leader for the Church, I am
looking forward to working with
everyone.

Over the past week, through our
web master Ms. Theresa Duhart, I
have made updates to the Lay
Ministry web page, available at:
http://www.c-m-e.org/core/layministry.htm. Additional updates, changes, and
adjustments will be
forthcoming. Please notice that
the Lay Ministry Order Form
has been revised and in response
to many of your inquires and
request, the Helping Hands
Bulletins and Programs of Study
series will continue.

I have been in communication
with, Bishop Teresa Snorton, who
is excited and pleased about her
role as our Department Chair.
Let us continue to be prayerful
as she and her new colleagues
move forward in executing their
charge and fulfilling their
assignments.

As I communicate and interface
with the Connectional Presidents
(Campbell, Winton, Dugger, and
Taylor) in reference to their
roles and plans for the work
ahead, please share your
thoughts and concerns with us.
We will be working together
along with you, to provide and
insure connectivity in our Zion
from the top down and the bottom
up.

As I close,
please be
diligent in your prayers for
Mrs. Faye McGhee, who was
hospitalized and underwent
emergency surgery during the
General Conference in Mobile,
AL. Faye is the Regional Lay
Leader of the New
York-Washington Region and was a
delegate to General Conference.
As of this writing, she is still
hospitalized in the Mobile
Infirmary Medical Center. I
will provide updates as I
receive them.

-
May the joy of the Lord continue
to be yours!

Sincerely & In Christ I trust,
