God is still God! We experienced the hardest test any parent can experience and that is the death of our youngest daughter, Rebecca. When Rebecca died our hearts were broken. We were in a state of shock, disbelief and pain; so much pain. There are many sleepless nights. We miss our baby ever single day. During this difficult time we know we were being carried by the Grace of God.
Through it all we knew Pastor Hawk and Lady Hawk were praying for us continually. We could feel their prayers. We also know that our New Beginnings Ministries church family was praying for us. Though we’re still in great pain, we understand that everything is working together for our good. As we stay faithful to God, believe in His word and continue to gather with the saints we’ll get stronger every day.
On Saturday, March 1, New Beginnings held a Black History Breakfast.
Along with delicious food, the event featured two guest speakers, Elder Delores Hawk and Sister Jessica Hawk, M.Ed. Elder Delores Hawk is a retired educator, and lived through the Civil Rights Movement. Sister Jessica Hawk has a Bachelor’s degree in History as well as a Masters in Special Education. They are both powerful public speakers and shared exciting Black History information.
The breakfast fundraiser began at 10 a.m. and was brought to you by our Sunday School Ministry. Tickets were $15 and purchased at Wednesday Night Bible Study and Sunday services.
