From the Desk of Our Presiding Elder
Holy Greetings,
We greet you in this Holy Day season in the name of Jesus Christ! The year 2020 has been a very challenging year for all of us. We have endured challenges personally, politically, economically and socially, as we have discovered new dimensions for ministry and seek to be spiritually relevant. Encountering the dark days of this year we have witnessed the love of God and the light of Christ. My favorite Christmas song is “Jesus, the Light of the World.” God is revealing Himself in ways that many of us have never before experienced.
We, the Leadership of the Georgia Fellowship, are grateful for your support to our state ministry. God has sustained us and is strengthening us as we continue to do ministry. We are learning to connect virtually through Facebook, Zoom and conference calls. We miss our times of fellowship but we are grateful for the support of technology. This year because of your generous support we were able to bless several agencies and ministries such as Church of God Ministries, the Youth Ministry in our state, Children’s Hospital and a new fund to assist ministers in the credentialing process in our state. We believe in sharing with others as God blesses us. We welcome your continued support to our Fellowship, finances and faithfulness.
This year we welcome the following persons to our leadership team: Rev. Reginald Anderson as our Registrar; Sis. Charel Brown as our Treasurer; Rev. Brent Vicars and Bro. Ron Reed to the Board of Elders; and Rev. Stanley Crawford to the Credentials ministry. My retirement this year as pastor of Community Church will enable me to dedicate more time to the Georgia Fellowship. We celebrate the great virtual conferences we experienced this year and look forward to 2021 as we are preparing for more virtual meetings.
We are praying for ministers and congregations who have been directly affected by this awful disease called Covid-19. Let us remember to “Walk in the Light, Beautiful Light...Jesus, the Light of the World.” He is light in our darkness, light in our difficulties, and light in our dreadful moments.
May God richly bless you, sustain and strengthen you in the Holy Day Season.
Serving the Christ,
Rev. Michael A. Smith, M. Div., D.D.
