We were also visited On September 3rd by Rev. Grace Kariuki of Amazing Grace Ministries. She shared information about her ministry to orphans and homeless children in Kenya.

At the West Middlesex camp meeting this August, they honored ministers and workers who had passed on during the previous year. Our own Sis. Carolyn Reed and Rev. Dr. Victor Phillips, Sr. were among the ones remembered. Brother Lewis Reed accepted the recognition for his wife, and Pastor Sanders stood for Rev. Phillips. In addition, Sister Reed was specially honored by the In-Service Training Institute.

Pastor Sanders continues to combine her scholarly and ministerial expertise. In June, she presented a paper on our prayer breakfast at the University of Virginia Project on Lived Theology Conference. She was also interviewed in the publication, Research News and Opportunities in Science and Theology.

In early July, Pastor Sanders ministered at the State Convention of the Florida Association of the Church of God. Here she shares a moment of reunion with Bro. Vendel and Sis. Pauline Anderson.
