they do, whether they are slave or free.” Ephesians 6:7-9 (NIV)
Praise God for all that He has done!!!

To the Stellar Stewards of the New York City District that we are
honoring this day,

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

Thank you for your service to the New York City District and beyond. I am honored to be the
chairperson of this function, which is to give you honor and praise while you are present to
experience and receive it. Each of you have been examples of what being a district officer and
pillar in your local churches should be. We pray that those who follow will use your years of
experience to model their prospective ministries.

Each of you continue to provide support and guidance to those of us who periodically lean on
you for direction. You are respected and revered across the denomination, and this is why we
honor you today.

As you are presented with your flowers and accolades today, please know that God has more for
you to do. Ministries and teaching continue that your experience and knowledge is needed. May
God give you the strength and vision to continue to till in His vineyard until the harvest is due.
“Thank you” to the Honorees Luncheon Committee for their support and constant cooperation
in this endeavor. This would not have been more than an ink on a page without each of you.

In His Service,
Mrs. Dorian M. Carson

Chairperson
