To the Honorees of the New York City District,

“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, REJOICE” –
Philippians 4:4

We rejoice with the New York City District as we celebrate the years of stellar stewardship of:

Mrs. Delma Marshall Ms. Verdelle Cunningham Ms. Elizabeth Wansley
Ms. M. Denise Niles Ms. Wilhelmina Lee Mrs. Edith Mayfield
Mr. Melvin Cummings

As the Presiding Elder of the New York City District, I appreciate all the hard work and dedication our
honorees have demonstrated, not just to the New York City District but to the New York Conference and
the AME Zion Church as well.

We give thanks to God for their faithfulness to our Lord Jesus the Christ and for sustaining their
proclamation of God’s ‘Good News’ over these many years. We pray for your future endeavors in
ministry and look ahead with hope for mutual opportunities to share God’s gospel of love with all who
are hungering and thirsting for God’s justice.

I am confident that God will continue to do great and marvelous things for our honorees as they continue
their respective ministry. God is not finished with you yet as you continue to grow in ministry, and lives
will continue to be saved as a result thereof.

Sincerely,

A. Alfred Carson

Rev. Dr. A. Alfred Carson, Presiding Elder
