Special Graduation Edition MAY 2015

Special
Graduation
Edition
MAY 2015
Editor’s note
As we begin this highly anticipated time of
year where families are looking back on prom
season and beginning to celebrate another
major milestone in the life of our children,
grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins,
neighbors and friends – graduation. I am
grateful for the students and parents who
submitted profiles to be included in our
Gunby
graduation edition, so each senior can be
celebrated by their entire congregation. All the
warnings and threats at graduation ceremonies fall on deaf ears when a
parent hears their child’s name being called. Only a parent and the
Lord know the heartache, prayers, car pools, practices, games, recitals,
pageants, competitions, projects, field trips and late nights that have
preceded this moment. It’s hard to hold in a shout or scream, maybe
even a dance and tears to mark the transformation of ‘That’s my baby’
to GRADUATE. The Brookland Baptist Church and The Brookland
Star are honored to share this accomplishment, as the village that has
nurtured and helped raise these young men and women into
remarkable individuals. To our graduates, we are proud of you and will
continue to pray for God’s abundant blessings in your life.
There are some corrections and an omission for the Brookland
Youth Spring, Summer Sports Listing in the April edition. The student’s
information is listed below. Parents who have athletes that play fall and
winter sports, we will include that listing in our September edition.
Our next call for submissions is for the Brookland Men Making
History feature in our August edition. Last year, we had four
extraordinary men recognized and I anticipate we will have an even
greater response in 2015.
Below are corrections/omissions in the Brookland Youth Spring,

REV. NICKY T. WILSON
Young Adults Pastor
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
He is Risen.
We serve a risen Savior, He’s in the world today, I know that He is living
No matter what Men may say; I feel His hand of mercy. I hear His voice of cheer.
And just the time I need Him, he’s always near.
He Lives. He Lives. He lives within my heart.
What an amazing affirmation of faith! While still in the Lenten season, we must continuously embrace our faith.
In the midst of our ever changing world, we must be reassured that God, through Jesus Christ will always remain
the same unlike the ambiguous timing of April showers, that show up at the most inopportune times in our lives.
The hope of the cross reminds us of what we must do as believers of the Lord Jesus
Christ. For it is true that in every life some rain must fall, some challenges will come,
In every life some rain and some difficulties will arise in our lives. Take joy in the fact that every May flower
must fall, some
depends on April showers. So, as we embrace the next few days, weeks, and months,
let us take rest in the beauty of May flowers that have been watered by April showers.
challenges
will come, some
difficulties
will arise in our lives.
Consider these three things.
First, without sufficient water, droughts are inevitable. Maybe you’ve been challenged
by the droughts of doubt, disbelief or even despair. “Count it all joy” because God
knows just what we need.
Secondly, the next thing to consider is that without the proper balance, we are ineffective; although, we may feel
that our lives are being flooded by unnecessary waters - the waters of work, worth and yes sometimes even
worship. We must trust that God is working in us a far greater weight of glory. For I believe, it is virtually
impossible to lack balance and expect brilliance.
Third and finally, without faith it is impossible to please God. It is the Master’s good pleasure to vie us the
Kingdom; however, we can’t embrace it and embody it without faith. Faith is believing in God even when you
can’t see your way. When you are blinded by circumstances, concerns and challenges that seemingly have a hold
on you, sometimes it’s hard to find faith. I encourage you, my brothers and sisters, that when you can’t see your
way, “close your eyes” and trust God, because we walk by faith and not by sight.
So, as we transition out of the April showers, let us revel in the beauty and the glory of the May flowers - watch
God work in your life.
Blessings!

When you hear the word movement, it implies
advancement, the ability to transcend barriers and
overcome obstacles. The word embodies every
thought and action of our African-American civil
rights leaders and their desire to guide us toward
freedom and equality. When you think of the word
movement from a spiritual perspective, you think of
the disciples and the followers of Jesus Christ and
what each of them did to spread Christianity all over
the world. The most recognized example of a
movement in scripture would be our God and his
desire to save sinners. He gave His Son the ultimate
sacrifice in an effort to help sinners move toward
His greater.

join together and experience “The Greater” that
Tyrone Brown, Dea. Frank Dantzler.
God has in store for His people. This year’s theme is
Creating a Movement Towards God’s Greater. As we acknowledge the depth of social injustice towards the AfricanAmerican population, the right to equal and an excellent quality education and the ability to have our voices heard,
we know that we must work harder together as we acknowledge the “Greater” that is possible with God. “The
Movement” will affect generations to come helping to inspire success and promote generational wealth.
Jerome Nesbitt, the chair for Men’s Day 2015, along with Rev. Cartrell Blume, the co-chair, share the vision of
a grass roots spiritual campaign that will empower every man to rise up and become the true leader that God has
purposed for his life. They have commissioned the assistance of 14 men that share their passion and believe in the
movement. The initial army of 16 has since grown to more than 200 soldiers energized and prepared to battle the
enemy. Our committee has reached out and gained the support of many local and state leaders. As our army grows
and we garner the support of individuals that are in a position to promote change, together we are destined to
reach “God’s Greater!”
As we embrace the grassroots spiritual concept for Men’s Day 2015, we thought that it would be logical to have
our spiritual leader and his son bring words of encouragement and spiritual guidance for our journey. Our very
own Rev. Dr. Charles B. Jackson Sr. will deliver the message for the Men’s Day Breakfast and his son, Rev.
Charles B. Jackson Jr., will deliver the Men’s Day Message. This will be the first time that the father-son duo has
provided both the breakfast and Sunday morning message.
We have a number of events planned that will inspire, unite, lead, inform and
provide relaxing entertainment for all those wishing to be included in “The
Movement.” We understand that it is important to experience growth in every
area of our life, and with that sentiment we thank all of the past Men’s Day
committees and we encourage them to join us as we seek to add to the Men’s Day
experience. It is our expectation that “The Movement” begins with Men’s Day
2015 service and continues with every Men’s Day committee that will follow as
our walk with God and the experiences of His “Greater’ will never end and
neither should our “Movement”!
We will have registration after both worship services at Brookland West and
after the worship service at Brookland Northeast. You may also register online for
your convenience. We ask you to remember that joining “The Movement” is
another way that you can serve as a blessing to others. We live to give – We give
to grow – We grow to gain – We gain when we experience “God’s Greater.”
The Journey Through the Bible Class allows
students to participate in an in-depth study of the Bible
beginning in Genesis and ending in Revelations. This is
a unique approach to studying the Bible as opposed to
other Bible study courses that skip throughout the
books and chapters resulting in student frustration and
confusion. You would never read a novel like that, so
why read the narrative telling of God’s plan of
redemption through Jesus Christ. Taking you book by
book through God’s word enables you to see the
progressive step-by-step revelation of His will as never
before. You will learn how each book is organized,
how it came into being, and its role in the Bible story.
This class is recommend if you are interested in
taking the Bible Institute Prerequisite class.
June Lewis is the instructor for the Journey
Through the Bible Class which meets on Sunday at 4
p.m. in the West Campus New Members Orientation
Classroom. Lewis can be reached at

Wytisha Carter, Ph.D. recaps recent events sponsored by the Brookland Financial Ministry.
Eleven Brookland members are the latest graduates of the Brookland Baptist Financial Ministry Adult Small
Group Study Class. A commencement ceremony was held on April 11, 2015, in the Brookland Banquet and
Conference Center.
At least three times each year the Financial Ministry offers age-appropriate small group bible study classes that
focus on our relationship with God and the possessions which He has blessed us with. The small group study is a
10-week instructor-led course that offers students an introspective look at their relationship with money as they
grow closer to Christ. It is also an opportunity for instructors to re-examine their relationship with Christ and their
obedience to His word regarding finances.
During the small group study, the graduates learned
scriptures that were readily applied to their lives. This
study helped the members of the class understand
God’s plan for the way we live, the use of money, time
spent on earth and our relationship with God.
Rev. Rinzee Stansberry served as the
commencement speaker and issued a simple challenge
to the graduates “Now that the Small Group Study is
over, what should you do?”

Financial Freedom Friday
More than 100 people were in attendance for an evening of food, fun and fellowship during the annual Financial
Freedom Friday. Rev. Veronica Bailey, Pastor of New Samaritan Baptist Church and Brookland Baptist Church’s
Chief Financial Officer, was the keynote speaker. Bailey shared insights from her career in corporate America and
as a financial consultant on how everyone can take better control of their financial futures. All the topics are
covered in the ministry’s Crown classes.
The evening was punctuated with jazz music and entertainment by Terence Young.
The mission of the Financial Ministry is to help people grow closer to Christ by teaching biblical financial
principles through education, empowerment and evangelism.
It is our goal to educate every member at the Brookland Baptist Church and draw members closer to Christ
through the teaching of biblical financial principles related to stewardship. We wish to spread the word of God
regarding His possessions in our homes, communities, schools, and places of employment.
Acts 8:1-3; 9:1-31
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Apostle Paul
Please unscramble the words below:
Saul thought that stoning Stephen was the right thing to
do. At that same time, a terrible persecution broke out
against the church in Jerusalem. Saul wanted to destroy the
church. He went into house after house, dragging off the
believers—both men and women—and throwing them in
prison. Many believers fled, so that they were scattered all
through the land of Judea and Samaria.
Saul was given permission by the high priest to go to
Damascus and arrest the believers there. But while he was
on his way to Damascus, a light from heaven suddenly
flashed around him! Falling to the ground, he heard a voice
saying, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”
“Who are You, Lord?” he said.
“I am Jesus,” He replied. “Get up and go into the city.
Then you will be told what you must do.”
Saul stood up, but he was blind! So the men traveling
with him took Saul by the hand and led him into Damascus.
For three days he did not eat or drink.
There was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias. The
Lord said to him, “Ananias! Go the house of Judas and ask
for a man named Saul. He’s praying there.”
“Lord,” Ananias answered, “I’ve heard about this man.
He has harmed many of Your believers in Jerusalem, and he
can arrest all those who call on Your name.”
But God said, “Go! I’ve chosen him to take My name to
Gentiles, kings, and the Israelites.”
So Ananias went to Saul and placed his hands on him. At
once something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he
could see! Then he got up and was baptized. Saul
immediately began preaching about Jesus in the
synagogues, saying, “He is the Son of God.”
Everyone who heard him was amazed. “Isn’t this the
man who was arresting believers?” they said.
The Jews plotted to kill Saul, but he found out. While the
Jews were watching the gates, the disciples lowered Saul in
a large basket through an opening in the city’s wall. He
escaped!
When Saul got back to Jerusalem, the disciples were
afraid of him. They didn’t know he was now a believer too!
But Barnabas told them Saul had changed. Saul began
preaching boldly about Jesus. The Jews in Jerusalem also
tried to kill him, so the disciples sent him off the Tarsus.
Around this time, Saul became known as Paul.

Theme 2015
“Bible Basics:
Stories for Our Children’s Knowledge
and Spiritual Growth, Part 2”
In 2015, Children’s Worship will focus on Bible stories in the New Testament. This follows our great success
in familiarizing the children with Old Testament Bible stories in 2014.
Our goal is to help our children, ages 5 to 11, grow in basic knowledge and understanding of our faith through
a child-friendly worship service. We meet during regular worship hours in the Children’s Worship sanctuary in
the Administrative building on the West campus as follows:
8:15 a.m.: 2nd and 4th Sundays
11 a.m.: 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th Sundays
We encourage all children who are 5 to 11-years-old to attend. New volunteers are also encouraged to join the
Children’s Worship family. For information, contact Kenneth Campbell at KCampbell@sc.edu or (803) 4138949, or visit us.
The Brookland Northeast Campus Youth Program is designed to encourage children
to have a relationship with Christ and to promote an understanding of worship. The
program will give children a safe place to have fun and to develop meaningful
relationships at various age-appropriate levels. Both programs are located in
Hope Academy directly across the street from the Northeast Campus.

“Then were there brought unto him little children that he should put his hands on
them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, Suffer little children,
and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And he
laid his hands on them, and departed thence.”

C.H.A.N.G.E.D. Choir Director Scharan Clarke gives us an inside look on Brookland’s latest choir.
C.H.A.N.G.E.D., which stands for Committed to
Having a New Godly Experience through Devotion.
The mission of C.H.A.N.G.E.D. is to provide a fresh
anointed atmosphere for young adult believers to move
towards mature worship and serve God by ministering
through song, bridging the gap between youth and
adulthood.
Almost two years ago, Briana Gerald talked with
Minister of Music Harold Brooker about a young adult
choir. With the blessing of Rev. Dr. Charles B. Jackson
Sr, Gerald, John Wilson and Sa’sha Smalls embarked on
a great journey of building a choir that will effectively
minister a relevant word of God through song to their

have a background in music as well as someone who
could lead them spiritually in their craft. I was selected
to fit that bill. I constantly tell C.H.A.N.G.E.D.: “Music is a powerful tool that God has given us. David used it to
calm Saul when he was enraged; when Israel went into battle, the musicians led the way. As a Levite, we serve God
and fellow believers by helping set the atmosphere so that the word of God can truly touch the hearts. It is with
this understanding that we approach our ministry.”
This group of young adults is growing in their own personal relationships with Christ. Some of them attend
weekly Young Adult Bible Study as well as other events sponsored by the young adult ministry. On March 26 at
River Bluff High School, we recorded a music video of Lean on Me with Jonathan Wyndham of NBC’s The Voice.
More events will be announced throughout the year.
Because C.H.A.N.G.E.D.’s focus is young adults, we are reaching out to ages 18-35 throughout the Midlands!
Choir members are from all churches, colleges and backgrounds who truly love what they do, uplifting God's Holy
name.
Practices are held Monday at 7:30 p.m. in the Health and Wellness Center Arts and Crafts room. We sing every
3 Sunday at Brookland Northeast and 5 th Sunday at Brookland West.

The children featured above are current members of the Children’s Choir on both West Campus and have
reached the age of 12. Keirston Linen and Syndney Hannibal are Brookland Northeast Children’s Choir members
who will also be moving up from the Children’s Choir. These young servants are now eligible to continue their
active participation in our congregation by joining the Junior Ushers ministry and at age 13, they are eligible to join
the Teens in Praise on the West Campus.
Children can begin singing on the Children’s Choir at the age of five. The Children’s Choir sings on the 3rd
Sunday at 11 a.m. service on the West Campus and at 10 a.m. at the Northeast Campus from October to April.
At
least 200 people, dressed in formal attire, were
in attendance for the 20th Anniversary of the
Spotlight on Youth Black Tie Awards Banquet on April
24.
Graduating Seniors, Corban Williams and Eboni
Tytiana Georges, served as the host and hostess of the
evening. The event, sponsored by the Progressive
Auxiliary, highlights the accomplishments of youth
between the ages of 12 and 21 that attend both
Brookland Campuses. The night of glits and glam
featured musical entertainment from soloist Chyna
Young and Teens in Praise. Graduating Senior Brandon
Polk represented the MIME ministry with a
performance to Encourage Yourself.
Dea. Robert M. Rhinehart was the guest speaker.
He instructed students to not let where you come from
determine where you are going. He shared his
testimony of working hard to overcome personal
challenges to accomplish his dreams. He also directed
students to learn how to compete so they will be better
prepared to function on a global scale. His third and
final point was to impress upon students that the
education and values they learn now will become
evident when they are young adults.
The Scholarship Committee presented 28
Scholarships & Education Assistance Awards and the
Progressive Auxiliary presented 17 awards during the
Spotlight on Youth.
The Progressive Auxiliary is a West Campus
Brookland Ministry that encourages young adults to
build a positive self-image and teaches lessons on
proper etiquette as well as recognizing excellence and
high achievement in academics, sports, and the
community. In addition to the black tie banquet, the
Progressive Auxiliary sponsors quarterly Spotlight on
Youth Recognition, a Friday Night Jam for Jesus in
February, and College Support activities.
The Scholarship Committee requests applications
from graduating seniors in March. The committee
carefully reviews packages to determine the level of
assistance each student receives. Since 1987, all students
who have applied for assistance have received a
financial award.

was leaving the Walmart near the base where (my sister says) all the fine soldiers are.
While walking to my car, I saw a very handsome man (I assume one of those fine
soldiers) on a really nice motorcycle. I smiled as I passed by him and said, “Nice
bike.” He turned towards me, smiled back and replied; “Thank you, Ma’am.”
My feet kept moving and my mouth said, “You’re welcome.” but my mind screeched to
an abrupt halt and my little ego questioned, “Am I a Ma’am?” Ma’am sounded so - grandma, matronly - certainly
not what I was in my cute outfit and recently done hair.
The very next day while shopping, I noticed an attractive gentleman looking at me from afar. He strolled
up to me and said, “Hi, can I help you find something?”
Immediately I replied, “No, thank you, young man.”
His beautiful smiled flipped into a frown when he snapped back, “I’m not that young.” I had an aha moment,
realizing, I had just “reverse ma’am-ed” that man. I did the same thing to him that the motorcycle man did to me. I
apologized and we laughed as I explained I didn’t mean any harm.

are diverse individuals from different backgrounds, experiences, even cultures. Many
southerners have a sugary dialect using honey, baby, sugar and love that people from other regions may not have.
Northerners are known for their straightforward, abrupt way of speaking, which is often misinterpreted as being
angry or mean. The fact is, what and how we think (about what others say and do) is mostly based on our
interpretation, what we feel, and not what the other person may have said, thought or meant. At dinner last
Sunday, the very attentive waitress referred to my 18-year-old nephew as Sir and he didn’t like it! She didn’t say
anything wrong; she was simply showing her customer respect. Still, the teenager who wants to be seen as an adult
didn’t want to be called an adult because it made him feel old, like an adult! (That’s an entirely different Relax, it’s
ok 2b…but I digress.)
We are sabotaging ourselves and blocking our blessings when we cannot accept a compliment or constantly
think negatively of what others say or do. We have essentially created a repellent, prohibiting what the Lord has
intended for us from coming into our lives. And if and when we respond harshly, we’ve disrespected the other
person and opened the floodgates of bad that was intended for good! We have to allow ourselves to be vulnerable
enough to accept and receive goodness while being so strong we can also recognize and repel what may be
harmful . Ephesians 4:31-32 ESV directs us to Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away
from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
So let’s approach each conversation with a positive disposition and with no preconceived notions. Wipe the
slate clean every day and do not allow the last unpleasant experience to contaminate our minds for the next time.
When we can become more understanding and tolerant of others and really become conscious about adopting the
old adage: do unto others as we would have them do unto you, we have not only healed and strengthened
ourselves but we have opened our hearts to allow our heavenly Father to use others to lift us up and impart the
many blessings into our lives that He has for us.
Then we can Relax, and know it’s ok 2b called Sir, Young Man and Ma’am!
