“Women’s Day 2014 Celebration”
From Our Pastor . . .
We give glory, honor, and praise to our God who has provided us with another
opportunity to celebrate Women’s Day. Women are a vital part of our
congregation, and I am blessed to have a dynamic woman of God standing beside
me in ministry, First Lady Dennine Smith. Quiet, as it is kept, if it was not for
women in our church many pews and positions would be
vacant. Thanks for taking charge this Sunday.
Excitement fills the air today as we hear from guest
preachers to share with us what the Lord has given
to them. Thank you, Pastor Reid and Elder Mason,
for taking time to share with us from God’s word.
PREACH, PREACH, and PREACH!!!
We praise God for the leadership of our
Women’s Day Chair and Vice Chair and the entire
committee who have supported them. I am appreciative
of the enthusiasm you demonstrate each year while putting together this annual
experience. I encourage you as Women of Faith to continue “walking by faith
and not by sight.” May God bless us this day as we continue in up building
God’s kingdom.
Peace and Love,
Rev. Dr. William J. Smith, Jr.
Our pilgrim walk is not by sight,
For we cannot see ahead;
We walk by faith in Jesus Christ…
And by His hand we are led.
Our Shepherd meets our every need,
Great blessings are ours to reap;
Faith as a grain of mustard seed…
Can move mountains that are steep…
Walk by Faith!

“Women’s Day 2014 Celebration”
Trusteette Joycetine Burton, Vice-Chairperson
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want” . . . Psalm 23:1
Hello, New First Baptist Church Taylorsville Family & Friends
It has been a pleasure working with the Women’s Day 2014
Committee and being asked to serve as Vice-Chairperson for the
“Women Day Celebration 2014”. The road that you have to
travel, to make this day a success, has truly been an experience. I
am honored and blessed to have had the opportunity to serve you.
It has also been a great pleasure serving with Chairperson, Sister Emily V. Harris
(Cookie). She is such a lovely person. There should be more people like her. I thank
you for the prayers, guidance, love, and support. With God’s strength and grace, I
will continue this journey “Women Walking by Faith, Not by Sight”.
“May God Be With You Always”
Sister Emily V. Harris, Chairperson
To the all wise “GOD,” our Father, His son, “JESUS,” and
The Comforter — “The Holy Spirit,” to whom I give all Honor,
Glory, and Praise.
I Pray God will Bless all my Brothers and Sisters with Peace,
Prosperity, and Power as you seek to have a closer relationship
with the Almighty. Every day is a gift given to us by our Heavenly
Father. It belongs not more to the young than to the old, and
tomorrow belongs to no one. The day is always his who works in it with
sincerity and love; for Love should stay with us because God is Love. I pray that the
outward man and inward man be as one for we need to give God the recognition as
the giver of all things good and Holy. To my Precious, Meek, and Loving Vice-Chair,
Trusteette Joycetine Burton, I wish to share these words of Love to you:
“I believe that God will never send, A gift so Precious as a Friend.
A Friend who always understands, and fills each need as it demands.
Who sees no fault and merits no blame, But keeps on Loving just the same;
Earth's gifts a sweet enjoyment lend, But only God can give a true Friend.”
God Loves you and I do Too!!!!
To all my supportive, Brothers and Sisters of NFBCT, during this Women's Day 2014
Celebration, I say "Thank You". I wish you Joy, Peace, and Love;
but the Greatest of these I wish You "Love".
Deaconess Frances Williams
Deaconess Williams has been a member of New First Baptist
Church (Taylorsville) for over 60 years and is the widower
of Deacon Vernon Williams. Her children, Angela Perry,
Steven Williams, and Pamela Cherry (deceased) along with
her seven grandchildren and six great grandchildren are her
pride and joy. Her retirement from the Portsmouth Public
School System after 31 years of service has afforded her the
opportunity to spend quality time with her family and she loves sharing the word
of God with them.
She enjoys cooking, family gatherings, shopping, and reading “My Daily Bread,” and
talking about God and His goodness. She is an active member of the Retired Educators
Association, The Red Hatters, and the Women’s Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) held at
Deep Creek Baptist Church in Chesapeake, VA.
As an active member of NFBCT, Deaconess Williams attends the Ladies #2 Sunday
School Class, Vacation Bible School, Adult Bible Study, and Mid-week Prayer Service.
She is a faithful and dedicated member of the Deaconess Ministry, Dr. T. Melvin Steele
Scholarship Ministry, and the Women’s Ministry.
During her 60 plus years at the church, she has held the positions of Vice-President and
President/Ministry Leader of the Deaconess Ministry. In September 1975, the
Dr. T. Melvin Steele Scholarship Ministry (formerly known as the Scholarship Club) was
organized under the leadership of Deaconess Frances Williams (former President/
Ministry Leader) to recognize the achievements of high school and college graduates.
Deaconess Williams’ favorite scripture is Psalm 27:1 ̶14 . . . “Wait on the Lord, be of
good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait I say, on the LORD,” and her
favorite Christian songs are “Take Me to the King” and “He’s More Than Enough.”
What Deaconess Williams loves about New First Baptist Church (Taylorsville) — Her
church family and sharing the word with them. She looks forward to fellowshipping
with them whenever the church is in session. We are truly blessed to have Deaconess
Williams as a member of our church family. Let’s give a loud “Bless You” to our
“Senior in the Spotlight,” Deaconess Frances Williams.
“Women’s Day 2014 Celebration”
7 AM Service ~ Guest Speaker
Reverend Dr. Thomasine Reid
Pastor, Union Baptist Church
4608 South Blvd., Virginia Beach, VA 23452
Reverend Dr. Thomasine Reid is a native of Norfolk,
Virginia. She earned the Bachelor of Science Degree in
Elementary Education with an endorsement in Early Childhood Education from Norfolk
State University in Norfolk, Virginia. Her continued pursuit toward academic and
ministerial excellence is evidenced in earning the Master of Divinity Degree and the
Doctor of Divinity Degree from the renowned Samuel Dewitt Proctor School of Theology
at Virginia Union University in Richmond, Virginia. Her doctoral thesis was “Preparing
Mentors for Youth Discipleship in the New Millennium.”
Dr. Reid has served in numerous capacities in her Christian and civic service. She is a
former Gospel radio personality and has been included in the listings of Outstanding
Young Women of America. She is also the writer and producer of “A Kids Praise”, which
is a radio broadcast that was presented by children for children. Dr. Reid’s desire to help
to promote the growth of children as young Christian disciples inspired her to write and
produce a children’s CD entitled “A Kid’s Praise Ministry Moments.” Her book, Ten V’s:
Encouragement for Serving In Ministry provides motivation for adults who render service
within and outside of the church. She also provides an inspirational word which is called
“A Sister’s Got to Do, What a Sister’s Got to Do!” The broadcast airs on Radio Station
1350AM (WGPL) on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 8:30 a.m.
Dr. Reid was installed on February 26, 2012 as the twelfth Pastor of Union Baptist Church
located in the Town Center area of Virginia Beach, Virginia. God has favored Dr. Reid
with the historical significance of holding the distinction of being the first African-American
woman to have been called to pastor a Traditional Baptist Church in the Tidewater area
of Virginia. She is in demand as a revivalist, conference preacher, and facilitator. Dr. Reid
is providing continued leadership at the 151 year old Union Baptist Church. Together, they
completed and dedicated on February 23, 2013 the “W. Samuel Walton Family Life
Center,” a four-story, 35,000 square foot state of the art facility. It houses a gymnasium
with basketball court, bleachers, arcade room, exercise room, and locker room with
showers. There is also a computer lab, prayer room, library, 12 classrooms, several office/
meeting/storage spaces, and a banquet facility (400 dining seating capacity/600 theater
style seating capacity) with a mezzanine.
To God be the glory for the marvelous things He has done!

Women Walking by Faith and Not by Sight
We are Women Who Walk by Faith and Not by Sight,
Who on bended knees Pray both day and night.
The Power of God helps us to walk in His sight,
We are faithful Servants of God, trying to do what's right.
God's word is what we always seek,
His Mercy and Grace keeps us Humble and Meek.
We hear His words and follow His light;
God gives us special gifts so we can take flight.
We use our special gifts to search for truth and light,
While praying for strength and guidance,
so we can shine bright,
To share the Good News of Jesus, in God's eye sight,
We are Women Who Walk By Faith and Not by Sight.
