(John 3:16)

Being by the POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT

(Acts 1:8)

Being to BUILD the CHURCH

(Ephesians 4:11-12)

Bishop Beaman's Word 2023 Annual Conference

"However, I also remember what can give me hope. It is thanks to the Lord's great love that we are not consumed, for his mercies are inexhaustible. They are renewed every morning; great is your faithfulness! I say to myself, 'My portion is the Lord; therefore I will put my hope in him'" (Lamentations 3:21-24).

Upon being appointed to the Fifteenth Episcopal District in July 2021, the Mother Overseer and I immediately sought the face of GOD, that our steps would be ordered and prove to be His blessing to the wonderful people of the Fifteenth Episcopal District. The global COVID-19 pandemic was raging and millions of people were affected and dying. Fear was the dominant emotion throughout the world. The Fifteenth Episcopal District was spared. Thousands of our people were dying and infected. The Church as we knew it was unrecognizable. However, we forged ahead.

The word that GOD spoke into my heart and spirit still rings true; GOD encouraged and admonished me that, regardless of COVID and its decimating effects, we should remain FAITHFUL, FEARLESS and FOCUSED ON THE FUTURE. Since July 2021, we have been living our spiritual mantra and have been faithful and fearless. As we approach our last year of this quadrennium, let's embrace the third pillar of this spiritual mantra: being focused on the future. Beloved, GOD is always directing us towards the new!

The continuity is that we start with faith. Faith drives us to overcome fear. When we have successfully applied our faith and gained victory and supremacy over fear, our future unfolds like the dawn of a new morning. When we have embraced the "new", the continuum begins anew. In the "new", GOD calls us to be faithful. In being faithful, we must always maintain a winning spirit and defeat fear wherever the devil employs it. This faithfulness and fearlessness will always propel us into the next new thing! 15th District, let us always remain future-oriented. Our best is yet to come. This is a powerful statement. It expresses that GOD is good, we are experiencing the fullness of His goodness now, but there is another level of goodness that we are always moving towards.

"However, I also remember what can give me hope. It is thanks to the Lord's great love that we are not consumed, for his mercies are inexhaustible. They are renewed every morning; great is your faithfulness! I say to myself, 'My portion is the Lord; therefore I will put my hope in him'" (Lamentations 3:21-24).

15th District, let's keep our eyes on where the Lord is leading us, in our ministry and witness to win souls, work in Missions, in economic development, in the spiritual formation of our children, in social activism for justice, being a beacon for the oppressed, racial and ethnic inclusion and advocates for greater government for His Glory!

Our theme for the next Conference Year 2023-2024 is "Ministry that Propels Us into the Future".

The Mother Overseer and I want to express our appreciation to everyone who has helped in this ministry of the future. Congratulations to each Senior President, Pastor, Partners, YPDers, Lay Organization, Women in Clergy, Board of Christian Education, RAYAC, Evangelical League, Sons of Allen, Sunday School, Choirs, Liturgical Dances and Stewards. We mourn the loss of all those who responded to the call to the Church triumphant in this Conference Year. We especially mention the life of Senior President Manuel Esteves Sarmento, whose contributions to the Angola Conference are

indelible. We commit ourselves to continue his dream of African Methodism in Angola until we reach its fullness.

We hope that the YPD and SMM Convention will be exceptional. To SMM Episcopal President Sr. Jantjies and YPD Director Sr. Jacobs, we are convinced that you have prepared our delegation for your respective quadrenniums. The Mother Overseer and I look forward to welcoming you to Orlando, Florida, U.S.A. To President Lomax Sisilana, we are further assured that our Lay delegation is also prepared to make a lasting impression on our Zion at your Connectional Lay Organization Biennial in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. We look forward to welcoming you.

This is the election year for delegates to the 52nd Quadrennial of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. We are looking for the best and brightest of our leadership to travel to Columbus, Ohio, USA, for this convention. We will travel as a "Fifteenth Collective".

We will seek to speak with one voice, defending the greater good of African Methodism and the 15th Episcopal District. I trust that the clergy and laity will seek individuals who will raise the banner of CHRIST and our Episcopal District with integrity, fidelity and the true spirit that makes us the Faithful, Fearless, Future-Focused Fifteenth Episcopal District.

Finally, Reverend Vuyo Gwarube, your contributions to the Mother Overseer and to Me are indispensable. Thank you for your faithfulness and genuine care for Us.

Grace and peace.

"The F-Force to Grade 15" The Reference Guide

At this stage of discussing the Reference Guide, let's consider our Core Values:

 We are Allen's Church (African Methodist Episcopal Church), based on the Christian principles found in the tapered books of the Bible and outlined in our Book of Discipline.

 We affirm the humanity of all people.

 We take seriously the ministry that brings glory to GOD and advances the Kingdom of GOD.

 Impactful worship is the key to our spiritual strength.

 The principles of biblical administration are the fundamental process of financing the work of the Kingdom.

 That every believer is called to the work and every worker is trained and every trained worker is committed to the call of Christ in the life of the church.

 That we are called to love God and to love one another.

The Apostles' Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord: who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified dead and buried. On the third day he rose from the dead; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, from where he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, in Christ's holy Church, in the communion of saints, in the remission of sins, in the resurrection of the body and in eternal life. Amen!

INVITATION

Bishop Silvester Scott Beaman

"You who truly and honestly repent of your sins, have love and charity for your neighbor, and want to lead a new life, following God's commandments and walking from now on in his holy ways, draw near in faith and take the holy

sacraments for your comfort and make your humble confession to Almighty God, meekly kneeling."

THE GENERAL CONFESSION

Bishop Silvester Scott Beaman

"Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, creator of all things, judge of all men, we acknowledge and regret our manifold sins and misdeeds which from time to time we have committed with great gravity by thought, word and deed against your divine majesty, very justly provoking your wrath and indignation against us. We sincerely repent and deeply regret these errors of ours; the memory of them is painful for us. Have mercy on us, have mercy on us, merciful Father, for the sake of your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.

Yes, on the cross, yes, on the cross, On the cross I glory,'Til I come to rest, Saved, beyond the river.

2 As I trembled at the foot of the cross, Grace, love found me; Morning star, there, its rays sent me.

3 Always the cross, Son of God, may you remember me; in its shadow, Savior, may you shelter me.

And especially when administering Holy Communion, to assist him in the distribution and to read and expound the Holy Scriptures; to instruct the young and, in the absence of the priest, to baptize and, in addition, to visit the sick, poor and needy, so that they may be helped by you. Will you do this willingly and voluntarily?

Warning to priest candidates

Presbyter:..........................Rev. Domingos Daniel Quissaqui, PS

You have heard, both in his private examination and in the exhortation which has just been given to you, and in the Acts of the Apostles, of what dignity and how great is this office, to which you are now called. And now, again, we exhort you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to remember how high a dignity and how weighty an office you are called to; that is, to be messengers, watchmen, stewards for the Lord, to teach and admonish; to feed and sustain the Lord's household; to seek out Christ's sheep which are scattered abroad, and his children which are in the midst of this evil world, that they may be saved through Christ for ever. Always, therefore, impress on your mind what a great treasure is entrusted to you. For they are Christ's sheep, whom he bought with his death, and for whom he shed his blood. The church and congregation you must serve is His bride and His Body. And if it happens that the Church itself, or any member of it, takes any damage or hindrance because of your negligence, you know the greatness of the fault and also the horrible punishment that will follow. Therefore consider in yourselves the end of the ministry to the children of God, to the bride and body of Christ, and see that you never cease your work, your care and diligence until you have done all that you can do, for all who are committed to your charge for that agreement in the faith, and for that maturity and perfection of age in Christ, that there may be no room among you either for error or in religion, or for wickedness in life.

Presbyter:...........................Rev. Quintino Francisco Gonga, PS

You cannot carry out such an important work on the salvation of God's people with doctrine and exhortation drawn from Holy Scripture, and with a life in accordance with it, without the spiritual foundation that comes through reading and studying Scripture. This is why you must abandon everything that you do, and frame your life and the lives of those who are especially dependent on you, according to the rules of the same Scripture. For this reason, you must abandon everything and put aside, as far as you can, all worldly cares and teachings. We have good hope that you will have weighed and pondered these things with yourselves long before you arrived here, and that you will have clearly determined by God's grace to give yourselves to this office for which it has pleased God to call you, so that, as much as it is in you.

Bishop:And now that this present congregation of Christ gathered here can also understand your mind and will in these things, and that this promise of yours can move you to fulfill your sacred duties, you must respond clearly to these things that we, in the name of God and His Church, will demand of you, touching the same.

Bishop: Are you sure in your heart that you are truly called, according to the will of our Lord Jesus Christ, to the Order of Priest?

Candidate: Yes, I believe it.

Bishop: Are you convinced that the Holy Scriptures sufficiently contain all the doctrines necessary for eternal salvation through faith in Jesus Christ? Are you determined from the said Scriptures to instruct the people in your charge, and not to teach anything, as required by the necessity of salvation, but what you must be persuaded can be led to and proved from the Scriptures?

Candidate: I am convinced and determined by God's grace

Bishop: Will you give your faithful diligence always to minister the doctrines and sacraments and discipline of Christ as the Lord has commanded?

Candidate: I will, with the Lord's help.

Bishop:Will you be ready with all faithful diligence always to banish and put away all erroneous and strange doctrines contrary to the word of God, and to use public and private warnings and exhortations, both to the sick and to all under your charge, as the need requires? and occasion will be given?

Candidate: I will, with the Lord's help.

Bishop: Will you be diligent in prayer and in reading the Holy Scriptures, and in studies that help you to know them, leaving aside the teachings of the world and of the flesh?

Candidate: I'm going to make an effort to do it, with the Lord's help.

Bishop:Will you be diligent to mold and shape yourselves and your families according to the doctrine of Christ, and make yourselves and them, as well as yourselves, healthy examples and patterns for the flock of Christ?

Candidate: I will apply myself to this, with the Lord's help.

Bishop:Will you maintain and establish, as much as is in you, gentleness, peace and love among all Christians, and especially among those who are and will be entrusted to you?

Candidate: I will, with the Lord's help.

Bishop:Will you reverently obey your chief ministers to whom is entrusted the charge and government over you, following with a cheerful mind their godly admonitions, submitting to their godly judgments?

Candidate: I will, with the Lord's help.

Bishop:May the Almighty God, who has given you this will to do all things, also grant you strength and power to do them, in order to accomplish the work he began through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen!

We praise and adore You, and humbly beseech You by the same blessed Son to grant to all, who here or elsewhere call upon Your name, that we may continue to show gratitude to You for these and all Your other benefits, and that we may daily increase and advance in the knowledge and faith of You and Your Son, by the Holy Spirit. That both by these Your ministers and by those over whom they will be appointed Your ministers, that Your holy name may be forever glorified and Your blessed kingdom be extended through him, Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the same Holy Spirit, world without end. Amen!

Bishop: (With seven presbyters) May the Lord pour out upon you the Holy Spirit. for the office and work of an elder in the church of God, now entrusted to you by the laying on of our hands. And be a faithful dispenser of God's Word and His holy sacraments in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen!

Bishop: Receive authority to preach the Word of God and minister the Holy Sacrament in the congregation in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen!

Leader: I rejoiced when they said to me, "Let us go to the house of the Lord; our feet shall stand in his gates, O Jerusalem.

Leader: For in the house of the Lord our God, I will seek his best.

Congregation: Those who are planted in the house of the Lord our God will prosper in the house of our God.

Leader: Blessed are those who abide in the house of the Lord. The Lord loves his dwelling place, the place where his respect abounds.

Congregation: Because the Lord is in his holy temple, let all the world be silent to him.

Leader: May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to you, O Lord, my Power and my Redeemer.

Congregation: Sing a new song to the Lord, for he has done wonderful things. Make a noise of joy, everyone, singing praises.

1.Everything, O Christ, to you I surrender, For you I will leave everything; Resolute but submissive, Always to you I will follow.

I will deliver everything! I'll give it all up! Everything, yes, Jesus, blessed, for you I will give it up!

2.Everything, O Christ, I surrender to you, Body and soul, here I am! All the world I renounce, Deign to accept me.

3.Everything, O Christ, I surrender to you, I want to be yours alone! As submissive to your will as the angels in heaven.

4.Everything, O Christ, I give to you, Oh! I feel your love, Transforming my life, And my heart, Lord.

5.All, O Christ, I entrust to you, Oh, what joy, my Lord! Perfect peace, complete peace! Glory, glory to the Savior! Psalm 25:2

1. Behold the millions who, in darkness and sin, live lost without a Savior! Who, who will proclaim the news that God in Christ saves the sinner?

"The Father has given me all power, on earth as it is in heaven! Go therefore and preach the Gospel, and behold, I am with you always!"

2. Doors open all over the world! Christians, rise up! Always go forward! Believers in Christ, unite your forces, Free the peoples from slavery!

3."Oh, come to me!" the divine voice cries out; "Come!" cry out in the name of Jesus; to save us from the eternal curse, His blood was shed for us on the cross.

4 O God! Hasten the glorious day, When all the redeemed shall be united, And in a mighty, holy, joyful chorus, Eternally give glory to Thee! (Isaiah 52:7)
