Continuation of President's Message
Romams 12:2 states, "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." We must be committed to doing God's will. The Holy Spirit must renew our mindset to do God's will. Renewing our minds means doing away with unhealthy thought patterns and replacing them with true, godly ones. We should take notice of thoughts we have that don't align with scripture (truth), and when that thought comes up, choose not to keep believing that thought.
The challenge is to allow God to renew our minds and use each of us to recruit members actively. For example, word of mouth and social media are the best ways to inform communities about us.
Congratulations to the Elected and Appointed Officers in the Senior, Young Adult, and Junior and Young People Departments.
Let us now move forward together with determination and turn goals into reality. Let's begin! Let's get it done! Now!
Thank you for your dedication and commitment to the Usher Ministry!
Always remember this as you go about your daily tasks. Remember, the one who blesses others is richly blessed, for those who help others are helped.
Blessings!
Linda Barnes-Pates
25th National President
