Norma Hield of Peach Street passed away on Monday, January 16, 2023. She was born to the late Edward and Maria McPhee on October 2, 1960 in New Providence, Bahamas. The most loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother and greatgrand mother is survived by her husband, five (5) children, nine (9) grandchildren and one (1)greatgrand child.
Norma was a devout Christian, a dynamic youth leader and a pillar of the community. She was a loving mother, grandmother, gracious friend, and an advocate for all. Norma was known for her Christian beliefs, dedication, and devotion to the church. As a child of God and a praying woman of God; she always wanted others to see the glory of God shine through her. God placed her in our lives to provide guidance and show us God’s love in earthly form. Her goal in life was to ensure that everyone she meet knew that they were loved and cared for, and that God had a plan for them.
She embodied the meaning of the bible verse John 13:34-35 which states “A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” A devoted member in her church, serving as a Deaconess, youth leader on both the local and district levels, Sunday School Teacher, a member of the Board of Trustees. She worked tireless in the church because of her commitment to the work of the Lord. The positions held by Norma allowed her to perform acts of charity, hospitality and provide assistance to those in the church and the community.
Her goal as a youth leader was to build a sense of community within the church youth program and to provide an opportunity for spiritual, personal, and social development. She wanted to ensure that the youth were equipped with the necessary tools and skills to be model citizens within their community and the country. To achieve this goal, she partnered with other churches and organization to host various events such as speech competitions, workshops, and seminars. Norma’s work did not stop there; she assisted youths within the church and the community with obtaining summer jobs to assist with their back-to-school preparations. The church had annual youth conferences which encourage the sharing of ideas, fellowship and encourage service in the church and community. She would spearhead and assist with fundraising activities to ensure that the youth could attend these conferences.
Norma’s love and determination for the youths and drive to ensure that each youth within the community is equipped with the proper education, tools, and skills to succeed. She was a dedicated parent and grandparent who wanted to be that bridge between the parents and public-school administrators. To impact meaningful change with the challenges facing our education system she became of member of the School Board and Parent Teachers Association (PTA). As a member of the School Board and PTA she improved communication ensuring that parents and teachers were informed of current events, issues, and accomplishments. Parents and Teachers knew that if they had an issue or needed assistance, they could call Norma at any time. This allowed her to build a rapport with parents, teachers, and students which created a positive reputation for the school and the community. She spearheaded many fund-raising events to raise money for school supplies and support the school’s effort.
The COVID-19 pandemic did not stop Norma’s drive, determination, and will power to assist the youths and children within the community. Wanting to ensure that every youth and child continued to receive education through the virtual learning platform, Norma partnered with a small business locally that sold laptops and tablets to students at a discounted price. Not only did she assist with obtaining the devices at a low cost, but she ensured that the necessary applications and a tracking application was installed on the devices. Addition- ally, she delivered the devices and textbooks to the homes of the youth and children. She also assisted the youth and children with gaining access to the Ministry of Education Virtual Learning platform. Parents and student knew that they could contact Norma if they had any issues as she acted as the liaison between the parents and the Administrator.
Norma was a missionary at heart. She could not see someone in need and not offer a helping hand. Her missionary work is done within the church and the community; working closely with the church and other outreach ministries within the community she was able to provide assistance to those in need whilst sharing the gospel. Norma was instrumental in the adoption of a local outreach reach ministry and a family of five. These outreach ministries were provided with food, clothing and words of encouragement.
Norma was a truly great women whose impact will forever be felt by her family that loves her dearly. She was an unselfish woman whose passing left an unfillable gap in the hearts of her loved ones. Her ability to sacrifice, provide, support, forgive, and love will be forever entrenched in all she knew.
When God called Norma home, the world got a little dimmer, but through her work during her time on earth, God’s love and mission will continue on through those she blessed. She will be greatly missed by those who love her, but through her teaching and guidance they know the love of God and take comfort in the knowledge that Norma has gone before them to create a home in Heaven for them. Norma truly embodied the mission of Christ, throughout her life. May all those that knew her be able to be a fraction of the good person that she was during her life. Her favorite bible verse was Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens Me.”

We’ve just celebrated Valentine’s Day, so this week seemed most suitable to take a closer look at the scripture 1 Corinthians
13:4-5:
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.”
It’s well-known Bible verse and many Christians can attest that they have heard it quoted or preached in church at one point in their lives.
It offers a very succinct biblical definition of love, but what do you think; how do you interpret this passage?
Tribune Religion spoke to a number of reasons who
explained their understanding of different parts in the scripture.
‘Love is patient’
Tabitha Fernander said: “Love is patient can have many meanings, but one in particular is having to love someone for who they are, and learning to accept certain things about them. You accept these things, even when you know that it is probably never going to change. It can be agape, eros, storge or Philia’s love. You have to grow to love a person for who they become or what you eventually get used to. Their attitudes and personalities begin to become a norm to you because you learn patience throughout that love.”
‘Love is kind’ Amanda King said: “With patience must come kindness and a sense of generosity in some way.
Kindness can simply mean caring for others that don’t care for themselves; giving without expecting anything in return; lending a hand to a person who may never ask you for a favour, but needs one. God died on the cross for our sins; that is pure kindness. And if He made us in His light and image, then we must live like Him.”
‘Love does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud’
Megan Gibson said: “Envy is another word for jealousy; jealousy is being
resentful towards someone else’s possessions. To boast is to brag, and being proud is another word for arrogance. Love? it has nothing to do with either of those definitions. Instead, love is supposed to be the complete opposite, and instead of being envious, be happy for the success of others. Instead of being proud and boastful, be humble in life. Humble yourself, and your days on earth will be better and longer. I say people should pray when they are faced with things like this. Pray for the betterment of
themselves and others, that is love.”
‘It does not dishonour others’ Alissa Johnson said: “This is simple. It is saying that love is not dishonourable to others. At least not the people you claim to care about. How can I turn my back on my child? How can I see my family go hungry? That is not love. This thing goes deep.”
‘It is not self-seeking’
Crystal Ferguson said:
“Love is never self-seeking
because love does not seek its own pleasure, well-being or advantage without regard for others. Selfishness is the opposite of love and when there is selfishness, there is no love. As Christians, we should always aim to walk in unconditional love, because when we do so, we fulfil the greatest commandment Jesus left behind. However, walking in unconditional love and considering others will only happen when we build a relationship with Christ and growing in the love; He demonstrates to us all.”
‘It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs’
Lisa Brown said: “If you love someone, you want to try to avoid conflict with them. And so instead of being angry when they do something to offend you, you want to talk with them openly and honestly, so that you can resolve the matter without hard feelings. I know this can be hard, but take your breaks and your space. Revisit the issue and try your best to work it out with grudges.”
UNDER the theme “Let the Fire Fall”, the Highway Church of God Bahamas, under the leadership of Bishop Denczil Rolle, will convene for its annual general assembly beginning next week.
Starting Wednesday, February 22, to Sunday, February 26, sessions will be held at 7pm nightly. Day sessions take place on Thursday, February 23, and Friday, February 24, at 12noon.
All sessions take place at the Church of God Temple located on Coconut Grove Avenue and K D Josey Way in the Grove.
This year’s theme is taken from Matthew 3:11.
On Thursday, the “Oil and Water” service will take place. The speaker will be Apostle Raymond Wells, senior pastor at Living Waters Kingdom Ministries.
“We realise that persons are suffering from depression and oppression brought on by the enemy,” said organisers, “however, scripture admonishes us in Ephesians 6:12, ‘For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.’
“We encourage everyone therefore, to be in the Church of God Temple on Thursday at 12noon to experience the Holy Ghost fire through this anointed man of God.”
Friday’s day session will take the form of a panel discussion, when the topic will be marital rape and the
proposed amendments to the Sexual Offenses Act.
“We are inviting and encouraging women and men’s groups, youth organisations, college students, persons who take lunch around that time and the general public to come out and hear the facts,” organisers said.
“As succession planning is paramount for God’s people, on Friday morning at 9am our general superintendent will host a special senior pastors’ gathering breakfast where we will meet, fellowship and discuss God’s plans and the future for the Highway Church of God.”
As in recent years, the baptismal service will be held prior to convention on Saturday. It will take place at Long Wharf where the candidates will experience the water baptism.
On Sunday morning, congregants will return to their local assemblies in New Providence. On Sunday evening, however, attendees will return to the Church of God Temple for the conclusion of this year’s general assembly with a combined communion service and the final charge from the general superintendent.
Nightly speakers include Pastor Rickeno Moncur, senior pastor at Mount Tabor Church; Bishop Conrad Jones, second Assistant General Superintendent, and Bishop Denczil Rolle, General Superintendent.
“Persons attending can come expecting a supernatural move from God. We believe that as our theme
states, ‘Let the Fire Fall', that this is exactly what will happen. You have to be in the house to experience it We look forward to seeing you there,” said organisers. For more information, call 6015125 or e-mail hcogbahamas@gmail.com.
