Every year as a congregation, we take time to appreciate our minister, Orpheus J. Heyward, for the great work he has done in ministering to the West End COC. Dr. Heyward has tirelessly taught the word of God, structured ministries, and developed leaders for the Kingdom's sake. Many of you have experienced transformation through his clear explanation of the scriptures. Currently, he is leading the church into a new building for next level ministry. On December 9, we will have a brief moment of appreciation for Dr. Heyward through a sacrificial love offering for him for his work's sake. We are asking each person to generously give that he and his family will experience the extent to which they are appreciated. We look forward to this momentous occasion.
