Additionally Information was distributed to the seniors about the benefits of eating the right food,
exercising and the importance of maintaining a healthy heart. The Missionaries by request of Reverend
Perry, sponsored a week long revival and also collected and donated money towards the building of a
well in Liberia. Our Buds of Promise participated and as a result, able to contribute a sizable donation.
Sister Capel says she counts herself as very fortunate to have had missionaries that were willing to work
to be of service to the church and the community. It could not have happened without their support.
Not wanting to let the grass grow under her feet, Sister Capel became the Local Superintendent of Buds
of Promise and is very active in preservation of The Harriet Tubman House in Auburn, NY. In addition
to local activities, Sister Capel has supported the District and Conference mission work. Since 1997, she
has served as the New York City District Affiliate Representative to the National Council of Negro Women,
Inc. (NCNW). She continues to be a blessing as she selflessly works for missions and actively participates
in all aspects of the Local Parent Body.
