toys mean that someone does care for them and someone
does love them. If we get the chance to go see them
sometime, I'm just going to give them a big bear hug
because they need it."
Fellow troop member Jacinda Jones-Bey added, "I
feel really happy for these kids to be able to get these
things from us because they didn't have much and now
they get to experience having more toys to play with."
"I feel like the people at the shelter really need the
toys because it really shows that someone else loves
them besides their mom and dads," said troop member
Ashley Ziglar.
The parents of the girls attended as well and they felt
it Was a great experience for the young ladies to think
about others before themselves.
"I think they got a sense of ownership in knowing
they helped their community and were able to give
back," said Letitia LeGrant, mother of Jones-Bey. "As a
mother, I enjoy seeing her learn, and seeing the enjoy
ment she gets out of helping others is great."
The troop meets at United Metropolitan every
Tuesday from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. The troop welcomes
girls to attend its weekly meetings.

Tammie Cuthrell. Seventy-one percent of
the funds raised by the organizations goes
to mammograms for the uninsured and
under-insured.
Breast cancer survivor Wilma Davis
thanked The Light and TPG for their gen
erosity and willingness to help those in
need. While sharing a testimonial on her
battle with cancer, Davis urged those in
attendance to be in tune with their bodies.
"Don't ignore anything," she said.
"Women, men if you see anything differ
ent happening with your body, get it
checked out then."
Davis mentioned when she was finally
diagnosed, the cancer had already reached
Stage 3. She said if it wasn't for Cuthrell
and Team Pink Gem, she would not be
here today.
"I'm standing here first to give God
the honor and the praise because He is a
healer, but 1 am also here today standing
on the shoulders of Team Pink Gem. I
want to personally thank Tammie and
"Boss Lady" for educating the communi
ty; they have a real passion for serving the
underserved in the community."
Along with raising funds for cancer
research, the program also raised money
to buy Christmas presents for children in
need. On-air personality Anita "Boss
Lady" Dean-Arnette said the annual pro
gram is all about love, She said, "It's just
nice to be nice.
"Love isn't love until you give it away,
and that's what this event is about: spread
ing love to those in need. We all know
someone who is or who has battled breast
cancer, and it feels good to know that we
did our part here today to help families in
the area."

He says the conference not only
speaks to the spirituality of a minister,
but is very much a social justice
organization with all they are
involved with in the community. He
said he has been in Winston-Salem
for seven years and the conference
found him and asked him to join
because of his community work
efforts.
Williams works with the Black
Lives Matter movement, holds an
annual community day each year in
which he brings in services people in
the community may not be able to
afford and orchestrated two city-wide
revivals that highlighted female pas
tors in the area.
He thinks involving more young
members inside of the conference
will be beneficial as well. His
involvement with the My Brothers
Keeper initiative and the Triad
Mentoring Coalition mean a great
deal to Williams.
strengthen the conference.
He says if elected he wants to
make the education task force and
social justice ministry full-fledged
committees. He thinks sometimes the
conference can be very reactionary
but prerers to
become more
proactive with
certain causes.
He would
like to connect
with Wake
Forest Divinity
School to bring
other religions
together to build
the bond with
ministers of other faiths to all worship
together. He says he would like to
highlight the similarities and not
focus on the differences of the faiths.
Another goal of Jones' is to work
more along side Forsyth County jail
and prison ministries to asses the
needs of the inmates. He would like
to see how the conference can help
the inmates in any fashion.
The relationship of the local
a collaborative effort between my
church, the southwest neighborhood
association along with Main Street
Academy and Parkland High School,
where we put on a community day
here on the south side where we
passed out over 1 ,000 book bags. We
fed them and brought in vendors from
all over the city," said Jones.
He says he is very involved with
social justice as well with his work
with the Moral Monday movement,
in which he was arrested, and has
reached out to the Silk Plant Forest
Committee to help make sure Kalvin
Michael Smith receives his proper
reparations for his years in prison.
[Smith was released from prison on
time served. He maintains he is inno
cent of the crimes he is accused of
regarding the Silk Plant Forest store.]
Jones says people should vote for
him because he is not about winning
but more concerned with serving. He
doesn't want any personal recogni
tion; he just wants to help the com
munity.

He thinks people should vote for
him because he says he is the "candi
date for the people." He said he has a
passion for this and not just when
people are looking but at all times he
is able.
Before Jones, expanded on his
platform, he said he wanted to
acknowledge the previous leadership
of Willard Bass and Bishop Todd
Fulton, whom he says has done an
outstanding job leading the confer
ence the past four years.
Jones says he is running for the
presidency out of gratitude because of
how helpful the conference has been
to him. He also believes that God has
given him some ideas to further
police depart
ment and the
community is
high on the list
of priorities for
Jones. He says
he would work
to strengthen
the relations
between the
people and the
police depart
ment.

filled with the Holy Spirit
from birth and will play a
role in God's plan of salva
tion and would also bring
joy to many (verses 14-17)
(UMI Annual Commentary
2016-2017). Rather than
jumping for joy, Zacharias'
response to the angel is
"I'm old and so is my wife
... prove that what you say
is true (verse 18)." The
angel then identifies him
self as Gabriel (strong man
of God) sent directly from
God's presence to bring
this message from Him,
"who cannot lie ... and you
have doubt? (verse 19). So
... now ... because you
don't believe ... as
Elizabeth's womb is
opened to receive ... your
mouth shall be shut until
that which was spoken of
by me has come into
being." Who really ques
tions an angel? I don't
think I would.
NOTE. The angel uses
God's word already spo
ken to His people to intro
duce the facts of the mat
ter at hand now. Malachi
4:5-6 and Isaiah 40:1-5.
For Your
Conrideration: In answer
ing Zacharias' prayer, God
added blessings for an
entire nation. Are other
blessings for others hid
den in your prayers?
Life's Application:
Zacharias asked for proof
and Mary asked for
details. What about "evi
dence and substance?"
Can we get past the skep
ticism? As we look for
God in our daily life, we
need to make ourselves
receptive to hearing Him
speak to our situations and
our prayers. Draw nigh
... (James 4:8).
