The congregation of New Bethel Baptist Church cele
brated the 10-year anniversary of church Pastor Rev. Dr.
Kendall D. Jones Sr. on Sunday, Oct. 9.
Guest minister Rev. Dr. Samuel J. Cornelius, pastor

Toward the end of the service Rev. Jones took the pul

the love he has received from them throughout the years.
He also thanked the congregation of the church for the
love and support they have shown, not only for him but
for his family, also.
"I feel very loved and affirmed by the church. They
give me energy to press on and continue for another 10
years or more," said Rev. Jones. "The church has shown
through the years their love and support for me, and I just
want to continue to show my love and support for them
and do the best that I can do as God has enabled me to do
it."
Rev. Jones recounted a story of when he initially met
his wife and how he was struggling in school at the time.

Church Folkplay set to show
at WSSU auditorium
BY TIMOTHY RAMSEY
THE CHRONICLE
According to organizers, there
will be a hilarious and witty hit
gospel stage play coming that comi
cally confronts church traditions and
when it's time to make a shift.
It sheds light on power struggles,
pride, church legacy and judgmental
attitudes that hold too tightly to the
past and resist the very change that
could lead to a stronger church fami
ly and a far-reaching community
impact.
Dreamcast Productions will pres
ent the play "Church Folk" at the
K.R. Williams Auditorium on
Winston-Salem State University's
(WSSU) campus on Saturday, Oct.
22 at 7 p.m. Dreamcast Productions
is a family-owned and operated pro
duction team founded in 2014 and
seeks to address real life topics
through the eyes of faith, comedy
and drama.
For this showing of the play, the
producers have added to the special
guest line up two-time Stellar Award
nominee gospel vocalist Ruth
La'Ontra. She will be singing her
new single, "Come Through," which
was written and produced by 10-time
Stellar Award winner Anthony
Brown.

Our Great High Priest
Lesson Scripture:
Hebrews 4:14-5:10
By the end of this
lesson, we will
?Understand that
Jesus fulfills the role of
great high priest
?Appreciate that
Jesus, in His humanity,
fully understands and
identifies with the daily
life of all people
?Know that we can
come to Jesus Christ, the
Great High Priest, in
times of difficulty
Background: The time of Hebrews is AD. 67. The
place is listed as unknown, which probably is a factor in
the questions as to the rightful author. The purpose is
clearly to exhort a second-generation church that has
experienced persecution not to loose its faith and revert to
D
practices that neglected its
faith in the power of
Christ's life and death.
The writer's intent here is
to provide sound doctrine
that teaches the people
about the superiority of
Christ over angels and
prophets, including
Moses, and to show His
position as the great high
priest. Concerning
Melchizedec, note that
there is the possibility that
his ancestry may be linked
fo Ham (dark skinned)
from which Africans also
descended, making Mel... a brother and a "bruther," too.
Lesson: Our lesson starts by stating that Jesus is our
great high priest and is in heaven with ready access to God
and we should not forget it or have doubts (the Hebrews
