Goler Memorial is 'reclaiming big for the kingdom'! Specuti IP THE CHRONICLE Goler Memorial AME Zion Church hosted its second annual 21 Day Spiritual Renewal Services Jan. 1-21. The Rev. Dr. Seth O. Lartey. pastor of Goler Memorial and min isters throughout the community preached and taught spirit-filled and uplifting messages eyery night. The 21-day services first began last year when Lartey received a-vision that the first 21 days of each new year would be dedicated to renewing the community spiritually and rededi cating our lives to God. Indeed, every night people from all walks of life rejoiced and committed them selves not only to God, but to improving the community overall. "Reclaiming Big for the Kingdom" was the basic theme on which all 21 speakers focused. The Rev. Dairl Scott, pastor of Hickory Grove AME Zion Church, Clemmons. began the services with the subject "Lets Do This" Scott commented that "Reclaiming BIG for the Kingdom" was an excellent spiritual blessing regardless to whether you attended all 21 days or ? one or seven days. "The services certainly enhanced your life. Everyone benefited tremendously from the attending the nightly services regardless of whether they were a preacher, stew ard. deacon, etc. To God be the glory as we anxiously look forward to next year's services." the Rev. Samuel J. Cornelius preached an electrifying'service halfway through the 21 days titled "There Is a Way out." the Rev. Melvin Wilkins Jr. stirred the congregation and chal lenged us with an inspiring message titled "Don't Worry. God's Got Your Back." "Rip" Wilkins attend- > ed most of the services and thanked God for the opportunity for various churches in the community to come together on one accord. Bishop J.C. Hash and the congregation of St. Peter's World Outreach Christian Center formed a covenant with Goler Memorial after Bishop Hash's message came forth regarding "Faint-Hearted Christians." The Rev. Dennis Bishop and the choirs and congregation of First Wa ugh town Baptist Church led an elevating service with beautiful hymns of praise along with a dynamic message. An anointing service was held on the 21st day as Bishop T.R. Rice, pastor of Mercy Seat Holiness Church, concluded the services with a powerful message on "The Reason for Reconciliation." Brother Lloyd Booker commented that "All the ministers preached from the same page. We need to be more conscious about serving God." Also, in memory of Robert A. Miller, and in observation of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. hol iday, A Legacy of Builders program was held. Sandra Miller-Jones facili tated this soon to be annual program as a prelude to the "Reclaiming Big Celebration" on Jan. 18. Various leaders from the com munity paid tribute to the legacy and memory of the legendary com munity giant Robert A. Miller, who was truly dedicated to improving the quality of life for all mankind.

TAC brings lessons in history to East Winston youth Special to THE CHRONICLE The Technical Assistance Cen ter., managed by Northwest Child ' Development Council. Inc. and funded by Smart Start, brought another special event to the com munity with the presentation of African American Storytelling and Dramatic Arts by Bob Moyer and Jennifer Lanier of "United Stages." The production was observed and selected by Steve Diamond out of consideration for the Washington. DC. Smithsonian Institute Summer Program. The production enchanted more than 100 youths at the Shilohian St. Peter's Child Care Center located at 1125 N. Highland Ave. "United Stages" is a two-person, theatrical production of African American folk tales and other award-winning stories. This program emphasizes audience participation. The chil dren's contributions help to make this an unforgettable experience. The actors introduce theater, including story beginning, ending. character, actor and audience by dramatizing the timeless lessons taught in these tales. The program strives to increase the child's confidence in acting upon their observation skills. Many, of the stories presented culturally diverse role models and material and they encourage children to par ticipate in the production. Guide lines are established by the actors, and the children's contributions help shape the outcomes of the sto ries. Interestingly, the story deals with animals Mr. Rabbit, Mr. Bear, Mr. Monkey, Mr. Buzzard, Mr. Squirrel, and so forth. Songs, music and dramatic actions serve as inter national sign language with all areas of nature ? the sky, the clouds, woods, forests, etcetera. Thus, the youth, ages 2-years-old and older, laughed, sang and clapped tteeir hands as they declared "That's the way the story ends" after each fea ture. The Shilohian St. Peter's Child Care Center is grateful to Jennifer Beaumont, the coordinator of edu cation and enrichment of the tech nical assistance center. Valorene Young is the director of education services. Dr. Manderline Scales is the executive director. For more information aboUT Smart Start funded programs call (336) 722-1642.
