MINISTRY EMPHASIS MONTH...Introducing Yashi Williams Friday Jun 21, 2024
	"General Christian understanding is that a minister, being essentially a servant, is anyone who engages in action that seeks to fulfil the mission of Jesus Christ in the world. Within the UCJCI, a Commissioned or Ordained Minister is one for whom this engagement is her or his primary vocation. Commissioned Ministers work primarily in or through church affiliated institutions in largely administrative capacities." - UCJCI Congregational Recruitment Brochure 2020 please click here for more information (PDF file)

CHILD MONTH FEATURE - Jazmine Samuels Thursday May 30, 2024
	My fellow children, can I ask you this question – What do you understand by this topic: Reignited by the Spirit “We ready fi di road”? Let me explain the meaning of two words: 1. Reignited means: to catch fire or cause to catch fire again 2. Spirit: The word ‘spirit’ has a lot of meanings, but I am using this meaning – A special attitude or frame of mind. Now that we understand the meaning of these two words, we can now move on. Let us catch fire for God with some attitude today in this place. Every fire, when left alone, will eventually diminish and fades to ashes. For a fire to remain alive and blazing, it demands new fuel to be added to it, as well as someone attending to it, for example, stirring it and fanning it to flame. So it is with our life in Christ, especially as children serving Christ. While you may have been fervently devoted to the Lord in the past, unless you have been tending to the flame and nurturing your spiritual walk, it will diminish into ashes. please click here for more information (PDF file)

KIDS' QUAKE MESSAGE AT CONVOCATION - Jayana Hill Thursday May 23, 2024
	Children, as we look at the theme ‘Children Re-ignited by the Spirit….Wi Reddi fi di Road‘, it suggests that there is something within us which has gone cold but has found new life and therefore causes a desire for us to want to do something new or different. For most of us, the Word of God would have been planted within us whether by our parents, Sunday School teachers or from an experience on radio, television, a community service, or even Tik Tok. please click here for more information (PDF file)

YOUTH CONVENTION Thursday May 16, 2024

CONVOCATION NEWS Friday May 10, 2024
	REIGNITE TO REPLENISH “The church receives her life and power from her Lord. Hence she must constantly be renewed in him. This is why an occasional change, revival, or reform will not suffice.
