Abbott will cel ebrate her 45th year of service and ministering to God by performing a free concert at St. Peter's Church and World Outreach Center at 4 p.m. Many have been blessed by Abbot's ministry and warm Godly character over the years. Forty-five years ago, Abbott was introduced to a spirit-filled life as she called on God for the healing of her spirit, soul and body. He heard and answered her prayer. For many years, she has based her ministry on faith, prayer and spreading the Word of God in the United States, Canada and abroad. She has ministered in places such as Germany, where she led worship services and formed a Bible Study group; the Middle East, England, Scotland and Holland. Abbott is an active member of St. Peter's Church and World Outreach Center. She is an ordained minister, a vibrant member of the Mother's Board and a cell leader. In addition, she shares the Word, along with her experiences with God, by teaching an inner healing class, "Renewing of the Mind," which is based on Romans 12:1-2. The classes are held at St. Peter's every third Saturday at 9:30 a.m. in the Fdiniily Worship Center. Ministers give take on ECONOMIC CRISIS SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE On Tuesday, Sept. 23, the Minis ters Conference of Winston-Salem, under the historic leadership of Presi dent Dr. Linda Beal, had a Bible Study led by Dr. Serenus T. Churn Sr., in which he applied a Biblical analysis to the country's financial crisis. While conference members claim no special financial expertise, the do claim a committed fidelity to Holy Scriptures which "speaks to every human situation and circumstance." Churn focused on Second Chroni cles, chapter seven verse 14, "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land." He pointed out that humility has been very difficult for America. In the discussion, it was pointed out that President George W. Bush has, in many instances, rejected working with other countries. Churn called for prayer, saying the financial crisis will not be solved by smart politicians in Washington, D.C., but by a sovereign God in heaven. Citing the scripture, he also called The Rev. Dr. Serenus T. Churn Sr. is pastor of Mount Zion Baptist. for Americans to seek God's face and turn from wicked ways. To seek God's face, he says, is to do things God's way. In both the Old and New Testa ments, the Lord of the universe shows more concern for poor and oppressed people than for rich, oppressive peo ple.
