
Monitor local radio, TV and on-line services to receive critical
weather updates
Never leave children or pets alone in enclosed vehicles
Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids even if you do not feel
thirsty
Wear loose-fitting, lightweight, light-colored clothing
Slow down, stay indoors and avoid strenuous exercise during the
hottest part of the day. Consider spending the warmest part of the
day in public buildings such as libraries, community centers and
shopping malls
Postpone outdoor games and activities if possible
Take frequent breaks if you must be outdoors
Check on family, friends and neighbors who do not have air
conditioning, who spend much of their time alone or who are
more likely to be affected by the heat
Check on your pets frequently to ensure that they are not
suffering from the heat
During heat waves people are susceptible to three heat-related
conditions; heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. All of these
conditions can be serious if left untreated. Know the signs and seek
immediate medical assistance should you find yourself experiencing any
of these conditions.

Matthew 12:15-21
Romans 5:1-11
Master Chief Williams Goines is officially regarded as
the first African-American Navy SEAL member. Master
Chief Goines achieved the feat in the early sixties,
overcoming the typical racial barriers many soldiers and
individuals faced during the times.
Goines, a native of Lockland, Ohio, discovered his life’s
path when he watched a film about Navy frogmen during
World War II on an underwater demolition mission. The
high school junior immediately tried to sign up for the
Navy, but was turned away by the recruiter, who
encouraged him to graduate school.
The public pool in Goines’ hometown was whites-only for many years, so he
taught himself how to swim at a local creek. Tensions were such that when the
pool was racially integrated, it was reportedly filled with rocks and gravel so that
no one could use the facility.
Because of his natural swimming ability, Goines was a lock for several of the
Navy’s diving programs but race would prove to be a daunting factor. However, he
began frogman training with a series of Army Rangers, Navy officers and other
Navy recruits. By the end of the grueling training, he was the only Black man
among the 13 left that completed the program in 1957.
In 1962, President John F. Kennedy established the SEALs and Goines was its
first Black member. The military strike team combined all the best training of the
other branches of the military to create a top-secret group of super soldiers for
America’s most crucial war missions.
Goines has been relatively mum about his missions and tasks, but does confirm
that he’s done several tours during the Vietnam War among other dangerous
locales. His dedication to the Navy for 32 years has been recognized, and his
fearlessness as a SEAL member is the stuff of legend. Goines is also celebrated
as an example for Blacks in swimming and has worked on behalf of the SEALs at
several media events.

Sincere Thanks
Rev. Murphy, Rev. Chandler and my Greater Little Zion Baptist Church Family:
The Harney and Joyner family members were truly blessed and encouraged by the generous outpouring of
Christian love, spiritual support and service that you bestowed upon us during the recent loss of my sister
Ovella Rollins Joyner.
There are few words to express my gratitude for your prayers, cards, phone calls, kindness and expressions
of condolence during our time of bereavement. You are indeed a living example of God’s goodness. We
love and thank you for ALL you did.
May God be with you all and may He grant you His mighty Blessing!
Ruby Rollins Harney and Family
Thank You!
“For your expression of sympathy”
To: Greater Little Zion Baptist church,
I would like to express our sincerest appreciation for the thoughtfulness, kindness, generosity, love and
support presented to us during our time of bereavement. We thank you greatly for your helping hands during
Joan’s hospital stay. The memorial service you performed offered inspiration and comfort to all who were
present. It was a comfort to us to know these details were in your hands. We are encouraged and blessed to
know that Joan is in the company of our Lord. Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Jane Thurston Waterman, Lauren and James Tyree
