My fellow readers, We have come to another sacred year where the household of faith gathers to honor and reflect upon the most triumphant and life‑shaping season in our Christian journey, Holy Week. This is not merely a date on the calendar; it is a divine invitation to walk again through the footsteps of our Savior, to behold the depth of His love, and to remember the price of our redemption. Holy Week stands as the heart of our faith, the week when prophecy was fulfilled, s

It is written, Psalm 139:23-24, "Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: (24) And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting." Wednesday is traditionally a quieter day, a sacred pause before the weight of the cross. It is a day to breathe, reflect, and allow God to search the hidden places of the heart. In the stillness, He reveals what needs healing, strengthens what needs growing, and comforts what feels fragile. Spir

The caption on the flyer read: THIS POST REPRESENTS ALL OF THE WOMEN OF THE NORTH CAROLINA DIOCESE AND AROUND THE WORLD. This month, we honor women who walk in purpose, stand in strength, and shine with the character of Christ. Their faith builds families, their wisdom shapes generations, and their courage advances the Kingdom. “She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.” Proverbs 31:26."

It is written, Matthew 22:37-39, "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. (38) This is the first and great commandment. (39) And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." Tuesday is filled with Jesus’ teachings, truth spoken with clarity and compassion. He exposes hypocrisy, confronts pride, and reveals the heart of God. His words cut through confusion and call us into

To all of our Family & Friends, We greet each of you with excitement as we prepare for #FAFC2026 in beautiful Daytona Beach, Florida. The original February 28th deadline for the first‑night room deposit has passed. After receiving an overwhelming number of requests, we contacted the appropriate representatives at the Hilton Daytona Beach Oceanfront Resort and successfully secured an extension to March 28th. That date has now passed as well. Once again, because of your continu

“Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord.” Psalm 150:6 There is a joy that rises in the soul when you praise the Lord, a joy that no circumstance can silence and no enemy can steal. Praise is not just a sound; it is a spiritual weapon, a place of refuge, and a doorway into the presence of God. Scripture tells us, “God inhabits the praises of His people” (Psalm 22:3). That means when you praise Him, you create a place for Him to dwell. You build a sanctuary in the mi

It is written, Matthew 21:12-13, "And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, (13) And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves." On Monday, Jesus enters the temple and confronts everything that dishonors God. He overturns tables, drives out distractions, and restores

It is written, Matthew 21:8-9, "And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strawed them in the way. (9) And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest." Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week with a scene filled with prophetic beauty. Jesus enters Jerusalem riding on a donkey, reveal

Galatians 5:22–23, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance…” There is something beautiful about a smoothie. You take different fruits, each with its own flavor, texture, and purpose, and when blended together, they create something refreshing, nourishing, and satisfying. No single ingredient carries the whole drink; it is the combination that brings the richness. In the same way, the goodness of God

Psalm 55:12–14, “For it was not an enemy that reproached me… But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance. We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.” Betrayal is one of the deepest wounds a human soul can experience. David understood this pain intimately. He wasn’t hurt by a stranger, an enemy, or an outsider, he was wounded by someone he loved, trusted, and worshiped with. That kind of betrayal doesn’t just sting; it

Being part of the Ministers’ Council is essential because ministry was never designed to function in isolation. Every minister, regardless of title, tenure, or assignment, needs a place of covering, accountability, and continual sharpening. The Council provides that sacred space. It gathers leaders into a unified body where wisdom is shared, standards are upheld, and the vision of the Diocese is carried forward with clarity and strength. When ministers participate, they are n

Did you know that Jesus has never stopped loving you, even in the moments when your choices did not honor Him? “I have loved thee with an everlasting love.” Jeremiah 31:3 Did you know that Jesus can still do the impossible to bring you out of the hardest place in your life? “With God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26 Did you know that Jesus is fighting battles for you that you don’t even know exist? “The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.” Exodus

Women’s History Month is celebrated every year in March, and it became an official month‑long celebration in 1987. Before that, only one week in March was used to honor women’s achievements, but Congress decided that one week was not enough time to recognize the many important contributions women have made throughout history. This month helps students and communities learn about the women who shaped our world, stood up for what was right, and continue to make a difference tod

FAITH THAT STANDS WHEN TIMES GET TOUGH 2 TIMOTHY 1:7, “FOR GOD HATH NOT GIVEN US THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; BUT OF POWER, AND OF LOVE, AND OF A SOUND MIND.” Tough times have a way of speaking loudly. Problems rise up, uncertainties crowd our thoughts, and fear tries to take the driver’s seat. Yet the Word of God cuts through every anxious whisper with a bold reminder: fear is not your portion. God did not give you fear, panic, or defeat, so you do not have to accept them. Instead,
