Flower of the Hour
By: Sis. Carolyn Butler
Even
though your seed has not always had salvation as the fertilizer,
Your
holiness bud sprung forth at a young age.
As
your roots in Jesus Christ gained strength,
You
became the stem from which all of us as leafs in Christ began to grow.
As
you continue to blossom into a pure Saint of God;
All
mankind smells your fragrance of love.
We
are aware that no single flower can make a bouquet
But
we do acknowledge you as the
FLOWER OF THE HOUR!
PASTOR, DR. ELLA M. DAVIS

"Eternal Deposits"
According to the word of God; "Only what you do for Christ will last". We have to keep this in mind as we
walk with Lord, when we witness to people about the Lord or preach the word of God these are word that have "Eternal Life"
and according to word of God his word will not pass away, in other words they last forever. So when we share the word
of God with others we are making an "Eternal Deposit" into their soul.
Pastor and Deacon Davis, we all thank you for the "Eternal Deposits" you have made over the
years!

Pastor Dr Ella M. Gordon-Davis, Honored
On July 20th 2008 Pator Davis was honored by the city of Kankakee, Il. They named a street after
her, this is being done for her priceless contribution to the community, that she has rendered through her ministry over
the past 50 years or more. This was the last of the many accomplishments of Pastor Davis. President Kennedy once made a speech,
and one point in the speech he said "ask not what your country can do for you, but what can you do for your country", Pastor
Davis spent over half of her life doing for others. And because of that Pastor Davis has left a enternal legacy, we as the
people of God should ask not what the church can do for you, but what can you do for the kingdom of God. Let us learn from
Pastor Davis, let's spend our time wisely and work for the Kingdom. ________________________________________________
