Our Christian Sympathy . . .

COME GROW WITH US: The Youth United Ministry is seeking youth and teens who are engaged to learn about the WORD of God. So meet us every Wednesday night from 6pm to 7:30pm. Come, Grow/Go With Us: We minister to children ages toddler through 18. This Week at Campus 903: The Youth Choir Rehearsal This Week’s Inspiration: Top 10 things you need to model to improve creativity. 3. Clear the clutter—Let go of the past. Youth Ministry At New Pilgrim: The Youth Ministry would like to thank Sis. Malera Wright and the Mayor's office for a won-derful fellowship at the Birmingham Barons Game. Again, we say Thank You.

Youth Day 2014 is right around the corner. Youth Day re-hearsal will begin on Wednesday, June 25th at 6:15pm. Our colors for this year will be pastel color tops and dark bottoms.

Our goal is to have all youth participating on youth day — you do not have to be in Youth Ministry on Wednesdays to participate. If you are a youth, we need you and you need us. Get ready to do your part and join the praise!

The Deacon A. C. Givner

Humanitarian Service Award The Deacons wish to honor the memory of the late Deacon A. C.

Givner who was a member of the New Pilgrim Baptist Church for

more than 59 years. He was a humanitarian who spent his life helping

to meet the economic, social and spiritual needs of others. He gave of

himself unselfishly and exemplified the virtues of one who was truly

concerned about the well being of God’s children who congregated at

the lower rung of the socio-economic ladder of society. He served dili-

gently as a man of distinction, a deacon, a humanitarian and an ambas-

sador for Christ every day of his life. It was not unusual to find him

out in the community in fellowship with the less fortunate identifying

their needs and seeking to address some of those needs. This award

will be made on the Deacons/Trustees/Deaconesses annual day (the

third Sunday in August during the 11:00 a.m. service.)

The Deacons are soliciting the help of the congregation in identifying a

member of this church who by his/her service exemplifies the character

traits of Deacon A. C. Givner to receive

special recognition for Humanitarian Service.

The honoree will receive a plaque expressing

appreciation for service and the person’s name

will also be displayed on a second plaque in

the appropriate place in the new facility. The

plaque posted in the new facility will contain

spaces for ten names (one to be placed each

year and on year eleven, the first name will rotate off).

The name of the nominee should be included on a nomination form

which is available on the table in the foyer and forwarded to either of

the following: Deacon William Armstead, Deacon Charles Chambers,

Deacon Harvey Henley or Deacon Charles Voltz.

Nominations must be received no later than July 27, 2014.
