Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s
mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and
pleasing to God- this is your true and proper worship. Do
not conform to the pattern of this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will
be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his good,
pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:1-2

Dr. Wayne D. Faison
Senior Pastor
First of all, I want to be the first one to say THANK YOU for your continued worship and
service at The East End Baptist Church in 2016. A special THANK YOU to our church leaders
for your willingness to serve as leaders. Our congregation, as well as our broader Christian
community, certainly appreciates the time, energy, and efforts you have committed to
invest in the upcoming year. Therefore, let each of us forge ahead into next year by
emulating the words of Joshua 1:6 – “BEING STRONG AND OF GOOD COURAGE.”
The East End Baptist Church has a long history of great leaders who have served throughout our 127+
years of existence. Consequently, we should be encouraged that we are standing on the broad shoulders
of Christian pioneers, trailblazers, and visionaries of the past. At the same time, we are currently laying a
much more expansive foundation for our next generation of Christian stalwarts, entrepreneurs, and
innovators. I don’t know about you, but I am thrilled that God has decided to use us, during this season,
as we stand at the “Crossroads of Now,” actively linking “what has been” to “what shall be.”
Based on Romans 12: 1-2, the upcoming year has been deemed the “Year of Cultivation &
Transformation.” Therefore, I’m being led by the Holy Spirit to lead our church through “a process of
tilling in order to heighten” the effectiveness of our various ministries. The East End Baptist Church
currently offers 65 ministries, not including some of our “sub-ministries.” In 2016, these 65 ministries will
be stratified into 9 Ministry Teams, which are each led by a Team Leader.
Also in 2016, we are providing an additional layer of support by integrating Cluster Leaders into our overall
ministry structure, as depicted in the following graphic:

It is my prayer that however we serve, God will use all of us, collectively, to reach the world for Christ. So,
join me, as we begin building, refining, elevating, and activating our ministries during this Year of
Cultivation & Transformation. And, I have the utmost confidence that God will continue to bring to fruition
in this 21st century, the wonderful work He’s been orchestrating here at The East End Baptist Church since
the 19th century. To God Be The Praise!

HELP SHAPE THE FUTURES OF OUR YOUNG MEN
Dear Members, we are planning to restart the Boy Scouts
program here at East End Baptist Church and are in need
of volunteers. We are soliciting your help in restoring the
rich history of Scouting that has existed here at East End.
If you have a passion for mentoring and would like to be
instrumental in shaping the future of our young men,
please contact Darryll Lewis at 571-236-0968 or at
pedarryll@gmail.com.
THANK YOU
The Angel Tree is one of the many
community outreach projects Sisters
Who Care (40-59) is involved in. We were able to
bless 53 children with Christmas gifts! To God be the
glory! Thank you to all who helped us bless these
children. You are appreciated!
MEET THE MINISTRIES
Bible in a Year – WITHDRAWAL!!!
East End Baptist Church is blessed to have 65
different ministries serving our members and
offering our members an opportunity to serve. In
this and upcoming issues of HeartBeat we will be
introducing you to our ministries, their purpose and
their assigned cluster. Each cluster has a purpose…
• “UP” Ministries – The Discernment Cluster
– Moving UPWARD to engage the presence
of God.
• “IN” Ministries – The Discipleship Cluster –
Moving INWWARD to learn more about
God.
• “OUT” Ministries – The Discovering Cluster
– Moving OUTWARD to participate with
God.
I did it! I actually did it! I can now proudly
proclaim that in 2015, I read the entire Bible from
Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21, all 66 books, 1189
chapters and 31,102 verses, every word. I was
ecstatic when I, along with others who had done the
same thing, received my commemorative bookmark
at the Watch Night Service on New Year’s Eve. What
a wonderful sense of accomplishment I felt. And
then came January 1, 2016 as I prepared myself for
my morning ritual of getting my huge cup of coffee,
getting to my quiet place and settling in for my
morning “dose” of Bible reading. All of a sudden it
hit me…what shall I read? In what order should I
read it? Old Testament or new? I read through a
few of my favorite scriptures and realized that this
was no longer enough. It was at this time that I
realized two things:
1. I need structure, discipline and a deadline. I
need a plan. Fortunately after a little
research I was able to find a plan that works
for me.
2. I’m fairly confident that I am not the only
one who met with this “dilemma”.
You might be surprised how much information is out
there. There are tons of plans to suit specific needs.
You can study from beginning to end, historically,
chronologically, different plan lengths i.e. monthly,
90 day, etc. There are also different versions i.e.
King James, NIV, etc.
First up…
• Audio-Visual Ministry
Marvin Satchell, Chair
o Purpose – To share our genuine love
for God and community through the
provision of all church audio-visual
functions (i.e., taping services; taking
pictures;
operating
delicate
equipment, etc.). To enhance the
worship experience and strengthen
our relationship with God. (UP)
• AWANA
Violene Sharpe, Team Leader
o Purpose – To train children to know,
love and serve Christ boldly and
engaging
them
in
long-term
discipleship. (IN)
• Benevolence Ministry
Yvonne B. Green, Chair
o To aid in the fight against hunger by
feeding as many in need as possible.
(OUT)
Here are links to some websites that have plans. I
am not promoting any one over another nor am I
suggesting that these are the only ones. You might
find them helpful.
