from page Bf
Quincy Jackson Sr., of
Engine 11 of the Winston
Salem Fire Department
said, "We wanted to come
out and tell the kids about
fire safety particularly in
the home. There are a lot
of dos and don'ts that many
kids may not be aware of,
so all in all, it's a good
chance to inform the kids
and build on their youthful
enthusiasm."
Church Pastor Barbara
Adams was pleased with
the turnout. She says she
was happy to be able to
help the people of the com
munity.
"It's all about outreach
for the community to bring
people to the church,"
Bishop Adams said. "It's a
collective of the entire
neighborhood coming
together and working with
each other."
Ronnie Pugh and
Chanel Sholes of Unique
Time watches were one of
the vendors on hand. They
displayed their quality
timepieces at reasonable
prices for people to pur
chase. Pugh said he was
invited to come by a mem
ber of the church whom he
works with. He said he and
his wife wanted to come
out and share in the cause.
They thought it was a great
event to come out and help
the community.
Members from the
community were apprecia
tive of the church for reach
ing out to the people, espe
cially the kids.
"I thinks its great they
are reaching out to the
youth because they are our
future," said Tommy Bush,
a member of the communi
ty. "The kids need to know
the right way to go and
taught the right way. If you
teach them in the church,
most likely they will come
up in the church."
The members of the
church were happy to be
able to help the people.
Latasha Steed said she
thinks events like this are
important to show the com
munity their church is
there. She says she wants
the community to know the
church is here for the "sav
ing of souls" and to meet
their spiritual needs.
Bishop Adams' daugh
ters Kanita and Shaun were
two of the church volun
teers for the Community
Day. Kanita said she
enjoys engaging with the
community and having a
good time. Shaun added.
"I feel like it's important
for the community to come
out and see that the church
actually cares. Here we do
a lot of community sef^ice
that is not publicized, but
something like this is great
for the community to see."
Youth
from page B5
youth need to be doing
something in church," said
Barr. "We haven't had a
choir anniversary in years,
so this is exciting for our
church."
During the morning
service, the kids performed
a choreographed dance rou
tine that brought a smile to
many faces. The choir also
sang beautifully during the
a.m. service that set the
stage for more to come in
the evening service.
Church Pastor Essie
McCullough delivered the
sermon for the morning
worship. Her message of
"Make Jesus your choice"
seemed to resonate
throughout the room. She
says they hold a youth day
once a month and it's a
"time for the children to
come and show God and
that's what we are supposed
to do as children."
"Our youth day is the
greatest time for our chil
dren to come and let the
world know we need God
and God needs us,
"McCullough said. "The
McCullough
Bible says train up a child
in the way he should come
and when he is old he will
not depart from it and I
know because I'm a wit
ness."
She went on to say,
"Children need to show
what is in them because
what's being put into them
is what's going to come out
of them. We want our chil
dren to serve and feel
important and know you
are somebody because
without children, where
would we be? It's so
important that they get the
word in them, that they are
educated, but most of all
they need to know who
God is."
The evening service for
the youth choir attracted
just as many in the congre
gation as the morning serv
ice. The church was joined
by the youth choir from
Bethlehem Missionary
Baptist Church, who sang a
selection.
Gah'ques Ligons and
T&K Mime Ministry both
performed a mime routine
during the service that was
well received. Closing
remarks were made by
Pastor McCullough.
