"'I Church holds domestic violence seminar to heighten awareness BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE ' Domestic Violence in this country has been swept under the rug for far too long. Victims are afraid to speak out in fear of retribution from their abusers. Abusers, afraid of others in the community becoming aware of their deplorable acts, are refusing to seek help. To help give a voice to those who cannot speak out and bring awareness to the warning signs, Praise Assembly Church Ministries Inc. held a domestic violence seminar on Saturday, June 4. The facilitator, Kenyetta Richmond of Family Service Inc., delivered information on things to look out for, as well as ways to help those who are dealing with this issue. Family Services works collabora tively with government, education and other nonprofit organizations and residents to solve our community's complex social problems, according to the website. TTiey also offer a mul titude of programs such as childhood development, family violence, sexual assault, counseling and pregnancy/adoption. Heightened awareness to this problem is seen as a necessity. "Domestic violence is one of those issues that's not spoken enough in our community or our churches until something happens and then it comes to the attention of everyone," said Dr. Johnny York, Praise Assembly 's pastor. "I think we can be proactive and get the information and the knowledge out and allow resources to be available for individ uals who are victims of domestic vio lence. We felt an obligation to the community to sponsor this initial pro gram." Last year, two members of Praise Assembly were involved in a domes tic dispute that resulted in death for See Domestic on B6 W-S Ronald McDonald House: BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE The 2016 McDonald's Inspiration Celebration tour made its annual stop in the Triad.

Doug Williams of the famed Williams Brothers, and recording artist Jo Jo Photos by Timothy Ramsey* Pastor Charles Jenkins gives his all to the crowd during the Inspiration Celebration. Martin. Event host and per former Lonnie Hunter said hosting this event has been a dream. "During the tour we have raised over $350,000 up to this date and to be a part of that and be able to give God the glory is truly a blessing," said Hunter. "It's a tour with a purpose and there are children out there who could not get here, but feel the results of what we did here tonight." Williamsrevealed to the crowd that he had been dealing with tumors on his vocal cords and he was told he wouldn't be able to sing any longer, but said through his faith he was See Gospel on B6 The Consequences of Disobedience | Lesson Scripture: Zephaniah 3: 1-8 By the end of this les son, we will See that Israel remained obstinate in their sinfulness and rebellion against God Recognize that God's standards of sin and righteousness do not change, and sin must be punished Acknowledge that we can so order our lives that we are in a place of bless ing, not. in a place of judgment Background: Sin must be punished. God is faithful to that fact and demonstrates it for Judah in surrounding nations. In Philistia where He promised that the coast lands inhabited by people would be made a pasture for flocks. He judged the descendants of Lot, Moab and Ammon for mistreating His people and humbled them. Turning to Egypt Ggd punished them with the killing ol Elder Richard Wayne Wood Sunday School Lesson their youth in war. God promised the Ethiopians death by sword and promised the Assyrians that Nineveh would become a wilderness. In. all these cases sin was \ committed and there had to be punishment. Now Zephaniah is prophesying to Jerusalem of their coming fate for their sin ful behavior. Lesson: God starts out with a declaration of what happens to those nations who sin against Him. This was Judah's chance to repent and escape judgment. As seen already, this judgment was blanketed over entire nations. Judah is warned. If God judges sinful nations, how much more so would He judge His own people who have lost faith and choose not to walk in His ways. See Len^i on Be
