This year’s Youth Day
Committee was led by Chairperson Sharon Hubbard and
Co-Chairperson J’Vann Agnes Winfield. “To our youth, you are
our future and we, as adults, must lead by example,” wrote
Hubbard. “We must teach you the way of the world and the
importance of worshipping our almighty God.”
The Order of Service
featured an opening devotion by the congregation’s youth –
Brooklyn Prayer; Justin Fisher, Jr; Samarion Buckson; Maleah
Jackson and Keonna Jenkins.
Following prayer,
scripture readings, song and worship dance, the morning’s
speaker, Min Jasmine Aaron-Pope of Canaan Manifested Word
Church offered some words on the idea that “God’s got an
assignment for you.”
“The main purpose,” she
said, “is no matter what your age or the circumstances, God
is able to use you – He has a purpose for you.”
Pope is a two-time
graduate of the University of Toledo with a bachelor’s
degree in psychology and a minor in criminal justice. She
has also earned a master’s degree in criminal justice with a
certificate in juvenile justice. After UT, Pope earned a
master’s in social administration from Case Western Reserve
and is currently attending Payne Theological Seminary where
she will obtain a master’s of divinity.
She is an active member of
the Canaan Manifested Word Church where she is a licensed
minister and continues to build her own brand Blessings in
Disguize.
Pastor Willis, now in his
15th year as the shepherd of the St. Paul
congregation closed Sunday’s service with remarks and the
benediction.
