The North Mississippi Conference Lay Organization Annual Lay Convention was held on October 4-5, 2024, at New Jeremiah AME Church, Southaven, MS. The Opening Worship Service was Friday, October 4th @ 7:00pm; Theme: The Four Gospel Writers: Rev. Johnny Johnson, Sr. (Matthew), Rev. Jimmy Harper (Mark), Rev. Phonecia Witherspoon (Luke) and Rev. Gwendolyn Pitts (John) with Rev. Reginald Guy giving the Summation. If you were not there, you missed a great time in the Lord!

The following morning, Saturday, we started with registration following business and training. Sister Jennifer Otis presented, and outstanding workshop entitled "Yes We Can!". She encouraged voter participation and how important it is to vote. This workshop engaged great participation, valuable information and lengthy discussion from everyone.

Our Annual Awards Luncheon, where we recognized outstanding laypersons of the Year: Sister Eunice Sanders, and Sister Jerri Evans. Sisters Charlotte Neely and Ethel Garner were awarded Lifetime Membership in the organization. President McClain presented the Executive Board members with a plague for their excellent work in their various leadership roles.

Mrs. Cloteal Fitzpatrick, Founder and Director of The O. B. McClinton Foundation was our speaker on Community Awareness. She shared with us her passion for children and how important it is that we keep them in the forefront of our lives. Education is not only taught in schools; it is a 24/7 curriculum. She has a free Summer Enrichment Program every year during the summer months to help the kids with, math, reading, recreational activities, just to name a few, while school is not in session.

Although we lack in attendance, God had the people He wanted there. We have got to re-emphasize the importance of the Lay Organization.

As we end this Conference Year and begin a new, we must position ourselves to become better disciples, doing what God has commissioned us to do. We must focus on the true meaning of the "Great Commission" and let us not make it the "Great Omission" in our journey of kingdom building.

To God be the Glory for the Good Things He has done and will continue to do in The North Mississippi Conference Lay Organization.

Asking for a prayer. We are getting an online prayer circle going. My love to everyone who reads this. Let's pray for each other and all of those affected by hurricane Helene today & incoming Milton because prayers are needed right now. If I don't see your name, I'll understand. I ask my family and friends wherever you might be, to post this status for one hour, to whisper a prayer for all of those who have family problems, health struggles, job issues, or worries of any kind and just need to know that someone cares. Do it for all of us, for nobody is immune. I hope to see this on the walls of my family and friends. I did it for someone else, and you can too ! 💜🙏🏻💜
I copied & posted to my wall.
Done!! Prayers ongoing.

I think it’s time to go back to school. Ummm. Recently a family member and a friend asked me why I blocked them. I was confused. I checked just in case and there were no blocked people on my list. Then I see this. Hmmm, I am not the only one. So now I am fixing my blocked posts. I wondered where everybody had been! This is good to know. It's ridiculous to have over 300 friends and only 25 are allowed to see posts.
I ignored this post earlier because I didn’t think it worked. It WORKS!! I have a whole new news feed. I’m seeing posts from people I haven’t seen in years.
Here’s how to bypass the system FB now has in place that limits posts on your news feed. Their new algorithm chooses the same few people - about 25 - who will read your posts...
okay here goes....HELLO. To regain friends in your news feed and get rid of ads - Hold your finger anywhere in this post and click ′copy’. Go to your page where it says ‘What's on your mind?’ Tap your finger anywhere in the blank field. Click paste. This upgrades the system.
Hello new and old friends!!

It's sad we have to keep doing this to kill the Ads and see our friends hello haven’t seen you or your posts in a long time 😳
