Prayer of Invocation/Confession

Heavenly Father, how thankful we are that You have given us another day to worship. May today be a joyful day of experiencing the joy of the Lord. May today be a day of deliverance. We come today, to this service, from a world that is calling us to spend time away from You. Holy Spirit, help us today! The world wants us to abandon faithful worship. Here we are to worship! So, we bring You our lives because we have been promised forgiveness of sins and light in place of darkness. Here, in this sacred place, we have the victory. Amen.

OFFERTORY PRAYER

We thank You, O God, for the incredible gift of Jesus Christ and for all the good things that have come to us because of Him and through Him. We want the work of the Kingdom to flow because of what You have given to us. So, with thanksgiving, we give our tithes, mission gifts and sacrificial offerings today. Make us partners in this succession of faithful stewardship and bless and multiply what we bring today. Amen. 

“So then, each of us will be accountable to God.” - Romans 14:12

Every new day brings its share of challenges. Be encouraged. Every week comes with its demands. Be encouraged. We are able to run this race knowing we are not alone. Getting to know and love Jesus can be wonderful. Being faithful to God, with our time, talents and treasures, is wonderful. We are on a journey of spiritual discovery. There is so much more the Lord desires to show us, if we will listen, surrender, love and obey.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Dr. Caroline Virginia Anderson (1848 - 1919), woman pioneer in the field of medicine, was born in Philadelphia, PA. The daughter of William Still, the well-known abolitionist and conductor of the Underground Railroad, she received her college training at Oberlin College, Ohio. Graduating at the age of 19, she was the youngest in a class of 45. After teaching school for one year, in 1875 she entered the Howard University School of Medicine, where she also taught drawing and speech. The following year, she transferred to the Women’s Medical College in Philadelphia, where she completed the work for her medical degree in 1878. The first time she applied for an internship at the Boston New England Hospital for Women and Children, she was turned down because she was a Negro. Later, she was accepted by a unanimous decision of the board of directors. In time, Dr. Anderson established her practice in Philadelphia. She was a member of the Women’s Medical Society and she served as treasurer of the Women’s Medical Alumnae Association. She was one of the organizers of the first Colored Young Women’s Christian Association of Philadelphia..

Archie A. Alexander (1887-1958), builder of tunnels, viaducts, bridges and heating and hydraulic plants, was born in Ottumwa, Iowa to a janitor and coachman. He broke through two deeply entrenched barriers. He was the first African American football player at the University of Iowa and the first African American to receive a civil engineering degree from the University of Iowa in 1912. He had been discouraged by the head of the school about the limited opportunity for a Negro in this field. Upon graduation, Alexander worked as a foreman for a bridge company before going into business for himself in 1917 and within 11 years he completed contracts totaling 4,500,000. Alexander succeeded as an engineer in spite of his race, and the university gave him an honorary degree for his achievement in 1925. In 1934, Alexander was appointed as one of a 12 member commission to investigate the social and economic conditions in Haiti. In 1946, he was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Engineering by Howard University. Alexander was appointed Governor of the United States Virgin Islands by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1954. In 1947, the University of Iowa named Alexander one of 100 outstanding alumni among 30,000 graduates. He is also recognized as having been one of the most successful engineers in the state of Iowa.

A Brief History of New Prospect Missionary Baptist Church

In 1924 a few officers and members of Mount Beulah, banded together and organized a church which they named Mount Lebanon Baptist Church. Two ministers worked together in the organization of the church. This small faithful group of people purchased a lot at 20470 Wisconsin in Detroit. More people moved into the area, joined Mount Lebanon Baptist Church and the name was changed to First Baptist Church.

Reverend Smith served as Pastor until 1929. Reverend Theodore Williams served from 1931 until 1935. The church called Reverend Pyles who served about three years and rebuilt First Baptist. He was unable to finish rebuilding the church because God called him from labor to reward. Reverend Sandy Gibson, who was the assistant to Reverend Pyles, carried out his term and was elected for a short period in 1939.

Reverend Charles B. Heath was called as pastor in the spring of 1939. Much was accomplished under Reverend Heath’s administration. Due to the fact that there were two churches in Detroit with the same name, Reverend Heath had the church change its name from First Baptist to New Prospect Baptist Church on January 7, 1945.

In 1953 the church voted to enlarge their present building. The members were supportive of this effort and contributed considerably. In March 1960, the members borrowed ten thousand dollars and made the down payment to purchase the 6330 Pembroke building. Reverend Heath pastored the church for twenty eight (28) years until his death in 1967.

In February 1968, the church called Reverend Dr. S. Leon Whitney from Jackson, Mississippi. Under his pastoral leadership an addition to the Pembroke Property was made and the facilities were expanded to its current structure. There was much growth under Reverend Whitney until his death in December 1990. His son, Reverend Dr. Keith L. Whitney assumed the pastoral leadership from 1991 until 1996. Reverend Randolph F. Henlon who was the Assistant Pastor at the time served as Interim Pastor from 1996 until March 1999.

On March 1, 1999, history was made in Detroit. Reverend Wilma Robena Johnson, a female assistant pastor at Hartford Memorial Baptist Church, was elected Senior Pastor of New Prospect Missionary Baptist Church. A new light appeared in the community.

This is the church where the spirit of unity abides.

this is the church where the vision lives and shines!

Congratulations to Pastor and People!
