“Power of Prayer” CHURCH COVENANT
Leader: What experience defines our spiritual fellowship and covenant relationship?
Congregation: Having been led, as we believe, by the Spirit of God, to receive the Lord Jesus as our Savior and on the profession of our faith, having been baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, we do now in the presence of God, angels, and this assembly, most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with one another, as one body in Christ.
Leader: What is the bond of our union?
Congregation: We engage, therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, to walk together in Christian love;
Leader: What are our privileges and duties in this Church?
Congregation: To strive for the advancement of this Church in knowledge and holiness; To give it a place in our affections, prayers, and services, above every organization of human origin; To sustain its worships, ordinances, discipline, and doctrine;
Leader: What vows do we make as stewards of God's gifts of money, time, and talent?
Congregation: To contribute cheerfully and regularly, as God has prospered us, toward its expenses for the support of a faithful and evangelical ministry among us, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the Gospel throughout the world.
Leader: To what lifestyle and conversation are we pledged?
Congregation: In case of difference of opinion in the church, we will strive to avoid a contentious spirit; and if we cannot unanimously agree, we will cheerfully recognize the right of the majority to govern. We also engage to maintain family and secret devotion; to study diligently the Word of God, to religiously educate our children. To seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintance; to walk circumspectly in the world; to be kind and just to those in our employ and faithful in the service we promise others, endeavoring in the purity of heart and good will toward all men exemplify and commend our holy faith;

Leader: What is our pledge to one another?
Congregation: We further engage to watch over, to pray for, to exhort and stir up each other unto every good work; to guard each other's reputation; not needlessly exposing the infirmities of others; to participate in each other's joys and with tender sympathy, bear one another's burdens and sorrows.
Leader: What tasks do we assume as the people of God?
Congregation: To cultivate Christian courtesy; to be slow to give or take offense, but always ready for reconciliation, being mindful of the rules of the Savior in the eighteenth chapter of Matthew, to secure it without delay; And through life, amid evil report, and good report, to seek to live to the glory of God, Who hath called us out of the darkness into His marvelous light;
Leader: What should we do if we leave this community?
Congregation: We moreover engage, that when we remove from this place, we will as soon as possible, unite with some other church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God's Word.
Leader: What benediction concludes our covenant?
Congregation: May the God of peace who brought again from the dead, the great shepherd of the sheep with the blood of an eternal covenant even our Lord Jesus, make us perfect in every good thing to do God's will, working in us that which is well pleasing in God's sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever, AMEN.

Sister Retha M. Jordan
Sister Jordan has been blessed with 91 years of age and a member of the New First Baptist Church (Taylorsville) family for 42 years. Sister Jordan is a widow (married to the late Reginald Jordan, Sr.) with one daughter, Dolores and a
wonderful son-in-law, Anthony G. Wilkins, Sr.; three grand-children, Anthony G. Wilkins, Jr., Reginald J. Wilkins and Crystal
S. Wilkins; two great grandchildren, Anthony G. Wilkins, III and Arianna; and a host of godchildren, loving neighbors and friends.
She loves watching her “WWE” Wrestling on Monday evenings and on Thursday nights “Impact Wrestling”. She truly enjoys the excitement of it all. Sister Jordan is a member of the XYZ Club of Chesapeake, Virginia “Senior Citizen Group” and past participation with the Arts and Crafts at Western Branch Community Center.
Sister Jordan states, “I am living a glorious life in “Jesus’ Name”!!! God has truly been good to me. I have lived the life as a “Military Spouse” and traveled to several places all over the world. After retiring (30 years), we moved back to Virginia and settled in Chesapeake”.
New First Baptist Church (Taylorsville) was the first church the family attended and she has been here ever since. She loves Virginia because she was raised in Suffolk and her family still resides here. Sister Jordan retired from the Navy Resale System (Navy Exchange) in Norfolk after 21 years.
As a member of New First Baptist Church (Taylorsville), while she was able, she truly loved working with the Floral Club. Her favorite scripture is Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” and “I’ve Been Redeemed” is her favorite Christian song.
What does Sister Jordan love about New First Baptist Church (Taylorsville)? My “Church Home” means the word to me! I appreciate the love and kindness of the church, remembering me with beautiful cards of kindness and the Deacons for communion and prayers they’ve given me at my home on several occasions. I will always love and have allegiance to “New First Baptist Taylorsville”. God bless my church home, now and forever more! In Jesus name I pray, AMEN!
We pray for continued blessings of the Lord upon Sister Jordan. Thank you to Sister Jordan for your many years of devotion,
faithfulness, support and love.
Our Hearts, Our Love and Our Appreciation goes out to our “Senior in the Spotlight,” Sister Retha M. Jordan.
