Hello to everyone checking out the National Usher Board Ministry section of our
National Website.

It is time to place your order for our Fourth Edition of the NCC. We are so excited about
the things that are going on in the different ministries across our National Brotherhood.
Did you know that our National Brotherhood Convention is in Orlando, Florida this year?
Our Chief Bishop, Dr. Rex M Waddell, and his team are assuring us a great time. Did
you know that Temple 51, in Cincinnati, Ohio where the Pastor is Overseer Elston
Carter, and the Bishop Julian Turner have established a team to create a GoFundMe
effort to help Temple 51 get their own church building. This is another opportunity for
you to help build God's Kingdom.

At our 2024 National Convention in Dallas, TX we voted two new Overseers into the
office of Bishop. We are featuring them in this 2025/2026 4th Edition of the NCC.
Please order your calendar and see what they have to say. More, More, my wife
Deanna and I took a trip to Washington. DC last year and had a wonderful time. Now,
we know a lot of us have been to DC before, but to stand were some of the greatest
men of our time stood was empowering. We would also encourage those who have not
been to the African American Museum to get there ASAP. They say someone may
close it down, God forbid.

I am just touching on a few pages in the calendar. There is so much more for you to
learn about. We have great efforts coming from our Women's Work Auxiliary across the
United States. Did you know that every year Pastor Mike Upkins and his wife Sis. Ann
hosts a Marriage/Single Retreat in November.

This is also Susan Harris' second trip to Ukraine. God kept Susan and the team she
worked with safe.

One of our NCC Team Members Shirley A. Flowers has created a database with all of
our Bishops, Overseers and Pastors birthdays as well as their wedding anniversaries,
church anniversaries and other events. With this edition of the NCC YOU will have
access to this information via our QA Code. If you would like to be celebrated or if you
had a great milestone you would like to share with the body of Christ, the donation is
only $10.00. Look for my name, Ernest Woods, in the QR Code on how to submit your
information.

With each edition, our goal is to increase our circulation by letting the larger population
know how God works within the Church of the Living, C.W.F.F which is a part of the
Body of Christ.

​

In this 4th Edition, we continue celebrating our youth who are seeking higher levels of
education on the page entitled, “Where R They Now?” We share our appreciation for
those who have provided us with wisdom through the years.
You will cherish each edition for many, many years to come because of what is in the
calendar. Remember you maybe in the calendar.

As a side note last year we sold out, please place your National Church Calendar order
NOW.

Thank you and God Bless You!
Ernest Woods
National Usher Board Ministry President
