“THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME�

(Deloris Williams Home Church) Mission and Vision Our mission is to be a loving and friendly, Christ-centered church that nurtures both the spiritual and natural needs of our members through sound biblical teachings and preaching along with structural programs and services. We aim to present the gospel of Jesus Christ in such a way that it first converts our members into disciples and those disciples into mature fruitful leaders who will in turn make a spiritual and natural impact on the lives of those with whom they come in contact.

We strive to be a beacon of light within our community by offering and implementing service oriented programs along with outreach endeavors geared towards improving the-spiritual and natural needs of those within our immediate community. Our service oriented programs and outreach endeavors will be based on-the principles demonstrated by Jesus Christ during his early ministry of love and kindness.

Service Times: Sunday School 9:30AM, Morning Worship 11AM & Wednesday 7PM Bible Study

Church of God in Christ Jesus New Deal Inc. 815 Fargo St. Durham, NC 27707 Tuesday Night Bible Class 8pm Friday Night Prayer Service 8pm Sunday School 10am Morning Worship Service 11:15am The W.H. Amos Praise and Worship Mass Choir began their ministry in song in 2002 under the direction of Missionary Desiree Biggers. The idea to form the choir came from the Pastor and Chief Apostle Dr. W.H. Amos of The Church of God in Christ Jesus, New Deal, Inc. The choir's name was instituted in recognition of Dr. Amos also and most importantly, to relate what we are all about and that is Worshipping and Praising God. We wholeheartedly believe that Praise belongs to God and that Praise evokes God's attention. In our Praise, God shows up and for that we are grateful. Our ministry extends outside the walls of the church. Wherever God leads us, we will follow be it the nursing home, hospital or anywhere we can be a blessing to those in need. The choir consists of members ranging in age from 11 and up. The choir’s future aspiration is to release an album to reach the masses and share the good news of Jesus Christ through song.

DIVINE CONNECTIONS MARCH-MAY 2014 P9 Thelma Bass & The Faithfulaires Thelma Bass, had a vision to start a gospel group after the death of her beloved mother, Sis. Roxie Jacobs Newman. Thelma did not have the desire or will to continue singing with her family group, GOSPEL SINGERS OF DURHAM. Being obedient, Thelma answered the call of the Lord. In November of 1995, Thelma organized Thelma Bass and The Faithfulaires.

Thelma Bass and The Faithfulaires were chosen by GOD to spread the good news of Jesus Christ.

They have been blessed to travel throughout the United States. Thelma Bass and The Faithfulaires have shared the stage/sanctuary with such artists as: Lee Williams & The Spiritual QC’s, Doc McKenzie & The Gospel Hi-Lites, Joe Ligon & The Mighty Clouds of Joy, Jo Jo Wallace & The Sensational Nightingales, The Jackson Southernaires, Keith (wonderboy) Johnson & The Spiritual Voices, Luther Barnes & The Sunset Jubilaires, Tommy Ellison & The Singing Stars, George Dean & The Gospel Four, Slim & The Supreme Angels, and many other fine artists.

The group consists of 10 members. “To God Be The Glory” is our motto. They have been able to reach an array of audiences, with their unique style. Believing that prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare, Thelma Bass & The Faithfulaires have come a long way as a Christian group. The main goal of this ministry is to uplift the name of Jesus and to minister to those that they meet, with hope to bring souls to Christ and take their ministry to an international level. They know that God is the answer and through Him all things are possible.

Thelma Bass and The Faithfulaires had two members to travel to Italy for 21 days to sing back-up for the North Carolina Supreme Voices. It was a blessing and an honor to see the difference between peoples in other areas. Our hope is to see people realize that if we come together and help each other then God will bless us to move higher up the ladder.

As Thelma Bass and The Faithfulaires move forward in life, singing God praises, we will keep God in our heart and mind so we can complete the task God has set for us.

No matter how you can sing, how high your voice goes, how much you shout and jump, how much better you think you are, just remember ONLY WHAT YOU DO FOR CHRIST WILL LAST. God Bless!

Often called the "Sunshine Vitamin", Vitamin D3 is actually not a vitamin at all.

Rather, it is a hormone produced by the body when stimulated by sunlight. For various reasons, most people are no longer able to produce the necessary amount of this "vitamin." These reasons include: living in a geographical area in which there is often little sunlight available, using SPF products to protect against the negative effects of too much sunlight, the current state of production, shipping and storage of the few fresh foods that would naturally provide Vitamin D3, certain medical conditions that preclude the synthesis of the vitamin, among many other factors. Although some foods are now being artificially enhanced with Vitamin D, there are not enough of them to provide all we need.

Up to 77 percent of Americans are vitamin D deficient (1). Low Vitamin D levels will result in your body working far below its potential. Vitamin D has been shown in recent studies to help promote immune health, help support healthy heart function, help muscle function, bone health, and skin health.

Effects of Vitamin D deficiency: cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, muscle weakness, kidney disease, asthma, multiple sclerosis, depression, tooth gum disease, Schizophrenia, birth defects, autism, periodontal disease, dementia, Parkinson's disease, autoimmune diseases, stroke, fibromyalgia 1.

Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin. Its role in the operations of our bodies is diverse — from maintaining the nervous system, red blood cells, and energy metabolism to the proper functioning of our brains, hearts, livers, and kidneys. It is, in fact, essential for optimal health, performance, and wellbeing.

It is required for normal cellular activity, working with folic acid to create building blocks for RNA and DNA synthesis and the synthesis of molecules that help maintain the proper functioning of the genome. This vitamin also helps the nervous system function properly and aids in energy production and in fatty acid biosynthesis. The body uses only small amounts of vitamin B12 to carry out these tasks.

Vitamin B12 occurs naturally in meats and other sources of animal proteins (it is not found in plants), and serious deficiencies are rare in healthy individuals who consume a balanced diet. However, vegans, vegetarians, the elderly or those who have had any kind of gastric surgery, may suffer lower than healthy levels of vitamin B12.

B-12 Deficiency Symptoms may include weakness, tiredness, or light head aches, fatigue, tingling or numbness in fingers or toes, difficult walking (staggering, balance problems, memory loss and difficulty thinking and reasoning (cognitive difficulties), easy bruising or bleeding, includes bleeding gum, depression, anemia, (sore, swollen, inflamed tongue), pale or yellow skin (jaundice), mood & mental changes, paranoia or hallucination, diarrhea or constipation, rapid heart rate and breathing, stomach upset & weight loss. ~ These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
