Marshall, Fred L. Marshall Sr., Bishop Freddie B. Marshall, Freddie A. Marshall III and Reverend Justin S. Marshall. 'Put Some Respect on My Name,' family foundation says BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE From a young age, Bishop Freddie B. Marshall was taught.to have strong family values and to help others in their time of need. To expand on those principles, the bish op and his extended Marshall family 'has started a foundation. Their flag ship program is called "Put Some "Respect on my Name." The foundation, the idea of the entire Marshall family, was started to help the family give back to the com munity. The Put Some Respect on My Name program is a comprehen sive eight-week mentoring program for African-American young men ages 12 to 16 that teaches self-respect and cultural pride. The program stresses the impor tance of proper manners, appearance and academic excellence. The young men will receive a suit, shirt, and necktie free of charge to show them the proper way to dress in a profes sional setting. The base of operations for the program will be the Carl Russell Sr. Recreation Center. "For the majority of our life, our parents have made sure that we were very much aware of our responsibili ties to our community," Bishop Marshall said. "We thought it would be good for us as a family to pool oui experiences and resources to really touch the lives erf young men in oui community. Our parents made educa tion a priority and they made family a priority as well, so we want to share that with others."

Jehovah's Witnesses bolster faith over weekends in W-S BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY THE CHRONICLE Over four successive weekends, 35,000 Jehovah's ? Witnesses are expected to descend upon the city of Winston-Salem. The Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum will host the annual Jehovah's Witnesses con vention, which began on June 17. The theme for this year's program is "Remain Loyal to Jehovah!*' The public is invited to attend and admission to the convention is free to the public. "This weekend, we will be discussing loyalty. When you think about that quality in the world today, sometimes it's lacking," said Rob Kennerley, regional media contact for Jehovah's Witnesses. "But here we are being educated in how we can be loyal to God and also in our families. That's a quality that helps build relationships and helps in everyday life." The convention program is designed to promote loyal love with the family and in the community, officials say. The convention claims first-time visitors will be impressed to see young and old individuals of very diverse, social, economic and cultural backgrounds listen ing attentively to the Bible instruction. They say many who attended an event last year found it to be an extreme ly positive, life-changing experience.

An edict issued by Emperor Claudius in AD 49 has now forced the Jews living in Rome to leave. All Jews who caused disturbances by preaching Chrestus or Christ were banishod from Rome. The action caused a division in the church between Gentile and Jewish believers. Each group claimed their salvation in Christ was more valid than the other. The r&llt was a majority Gentile congre gation in the church at Rome, hence the heavy content aimed at the 'I Gentile believers. Elder I Lesson: Paul points Richard Wayne I out in his letter to the i I Roman church that all are WOOa ? guilty 0f sjI,i Gentile and Jew alike. He further Sunday I asserts that God's con School Lesson I cent is with what violates : 11 purpose and not who, ,;!!? His wrath is against all ungodliness and unright eousness (vs.18). People choose which of God's revealed truths they will acknowledge. They are in a state of willful ignorance. God's , creation is all around us, we need but look and acknowledge our surroundings and acknowledge God as the Supreme Creator, the one and only God. lb the church at Rome, Ppul says that they knew God and turned At SecLoMdfeBt Calendar Today, June 23-25 Holy Convocation The Church of the Living God in Unity invites vou to our 23rd annual Holy Convocation today, June 23-24 at 7:30 p.m. and June 25 starting at 10 a nt.
