Winston-Salem Walk Chairman David Frye (center) poses with Beta Sigmas Omar Bitting, Tyrek Thompson, Christopher Hinton and Nasir Moore. Sigmas log miles to fight cancer SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE Local members of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity recently formed a team for the annual American Cancer Society Relay for Life Walk. The event was held at Forsyth Technical Community College from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Walkers took shifts over the 12-hour duration. Because cancer never sleeps, each team had at least one participant walking the course at all times. Teams engaged in fundraising activities during the months leading up to the Relay. The Sigmas of Winston Salem team consisted of members of Delta Sigma (the alumni chapter). Delta Alpha (the collegiate at WSSU) and the Sigma Beta Club (youth males ages 8 to 18). When the walk concluded, the team's 23 members had logged 132 community service hours while walk ing 564 laps (or 56 4 miles) around the Relay for Life Walk course. This year's walk was extremely important because both the American Cancer Society and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. are celebrating their 100th anniversaries. "ACS started the fight of a lifetime, and with organizations like Phi Beta Sigma, together we can finish that fight," stated the ACS' Rebecca Sink. "You guys are truly my heroes and sav ing grace!"

NC St. Paul holding anniversary celebration SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE St. Paul United Methodist Church, 2400 Dellabrook Rd., will host its 143rd anniversary celebration on Sunday, May 25 during the 11 a.m. worship hour. Senior Pastor Donald Jenkins will speak on the theme, "Led By the Spirit: We Are A Passionate Church That Transforms Lives." St. Paul members are celebrating the anniversary by volunteering at various local nonprofits agencies, by sharing the memories of older members and recogniz ing the service of ~ . i ? 1 Kev. jenKins. "St. Paul UMC is actually the merger of two churches: St. Paul Methodist Episcopal Church, founded in 1871, and Mt. Pleasant Methodist Church, founded in 1897. The merger took place in 1967. We have members living who remember what happened during the time of" the merger and it is great to hear their personal sto ries," said Betty Woodburn, a retired librarian and chair of the anniversary cel ebration. "One member, Doris Hartsfield, the mother of District Court Judge Denise Hartsfield. shared pictures of her wedding at the old St. Paul church during a recent gathering. As the oldest African American church in the town of Winston and the second oldest African-American church in the combined town of Winston Salem, it's important to preserve oral his- . tory whenever possible." Jenkins, who has led the church since 1993, said, "This is an exciting time for St. Paul. Our members are looking for ward to volunteering this week. We already have several outreach activities where we are visible in the community such as our food pantry and Thanksgiving meals, but there are many activities which are not as well known. Our support of Senior Services and the Forsyth Jail and Prison Ministries are just a couple of activities where our members are serving, demonstrating a passion for representing Christ to our neighborhood." During Rev. Jenkins' tenure at St. Paul, he has reversed declining member ship and focused on serving two purposes: praising God and building faith in an atmosphere of excellence and Christian love. "We are delighted to have been a part of the community for 143 years and will continue to work so that St. Paul will be a place that meets human needs," said Jenkins, who is assisted at the church by Rev. Ellis Carson, a 2011 graduate of the Duke Divinity School. Jenkins L" Jl <? *i * immiT *
