Deacon Herring: I joined this ministry around 1978 when we were still at the old church; St Paul Missionary Baptist Church. Since I have joined this ministry, over the years I have grown tremendously in the Lord. I serve as a Deacon, head of the tape committee, church van driver when needed, food committee member, and I am the overseer of the building. If anything goes wrong with the building, I am the one to call. My favorite scripture is Joshua 24:15; But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. I am a true servant of God. I love the Lord because he first loved me. I know that i can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me.
Deaconess Herring: I have been a part of this ministry since I was a small child. I remember walking to church on Sunday mornings all the way from Clinton Road. Reverend Wade and Deacon Charles Evans tore up many cars coming down that long bumpy road to get me and my sisters. My greatest duty in the church is to be a servant. I serve in the capacity of Deaconess, choir member, one of a few church nurses, and I work with the Nursery staff. I don't just have a favorite scripture, I have a favorite passage. Psalms 27. Because the Lord truly is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear, the Lord is the strength of my life of whom shall I be afraid. This passage has always been a comfort to me. My Goal in life is to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the things I need will be added to me as well.
