Greetings to the Graduates of 2021
I would like to take this time and extend heartfelt congratulations to each
of you. This is a special and momentous occasion such that all of you
have reached a milestone within your life. As you reflect on your high
school journey, it is essential to give God thanks and praise because
without Him you would not have made this accomplishment.
My dearest graduates, there is no good thing that God will withhold from
you. He knows the thoughts and plans that He has towards you; they are
thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you an expected end.
Bishop Anthony W. Gilyard
Pastor Therefore, as you continue your journey and begin to embark upon new
Elder Aaron Hayes horizons, there will be challenges that you will continue to face and there
Youth Pastor will be obstacles that will attempt to distract you. However, I want to
encourage you to meditate upon God’s Word and consult Him in every
decision that you make. Don’t lose focus and hope on seeing your dream
Mother Rosemary Gadsden become a reality. I strongly believe that all of you are destined for
Youth Director greatness and to have good success.

It is my prayer that all of you prosper and be in good health even as your
souls shall prosper. It is not how fast you arrive to your goal but it is more
important that you exercise great character in order to keep the things
that God has blessed you with. A good name is rather to be chosen than
great riches and loving favor rather than silver and gold. Wisdom is better
than rubies, and all the things desired are not to be compared to it. Seek
God and His righteousness and all of your desires will be added to you.
May the favor of God rest upon you and may you travel in the direction of
His way and will. I love you all.
Mother Rosemary Gadsden
