MT. ENON’S VISION STATEMENT
MOTTO Our motto is "Because We Care, We Share". We share our love, resources, and faith with all. We are a Christian family and invite all to become children of God in the fullest way by receiving the teachings and gift of salvation. MISSION Our Mission is to maintain the general design of the Church as outlined in the New Testament of the Holy Bible. To extol and magnify Christ and His teachings: To promote the spiritual and moral welfare of its members. To advance the Christian faith and religion: To enforce good order: To aid the needy and suffering within the sphere of its influence both within the congregation and
community.
The vision of Mount Enon Missionary Baptist Church is to: EXALT the Lord through worship, EVANGELIZE the Lost through relationships, EDIFY, EDUCATE and EMPOWER the Laity through discipleship and to ENCOURAGE the Laborers through fellowship. Because we are a striving congregation in Dayton, Ohio, which has been called and commissioned to become a group of believers in whom the Lord will be well pleased by developing each member as true disciples of Jesus Christ: We will LOVE the Lord according to Deuteronomy 30:1516 We will LEARN the Word according to Deuteronomy 17:18-20 We will LIVE the Word according to Joshua 1:8 and We will LEAD the World through the Word according to Acts 1:8 We are challenged today, to get involved, and take responsibility, and we must understand that we are ambassadors of Christ and of Mt. Enon Missionary Baptist Church. We decree and order that all Mt. Enon Missionary Baptist Church would experience a greater move of God in their lives because they submit to live by God’s biblical order to win Lives to Christ. “God can do anything; you know-far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.” (Ephesians 3:20) Pastor Cory Pruitt

You can grab red, white, and blue bagels from Einstein Bros.; or, order from DoorDash to score a free slice of The Cheesecake Factory’s Oreo Dream Extreme Cheesecake. (When your order totals a patriotic $17.76 or more, of course.) Check out all of the deals we’ve found so far below, and keep checking back as we get closer to the Fourth of July, in case any more are announced. The Cheesecake Factory The Cheesecake Factory is partnering with DoorDash to give away one free slice of its Oreo Dream Extreme Cheesecake—Oreo cookies baked into cheesecake, with layers of fudge cake and Oreo mousse, topped with milk chocolate icing—between July 3 and July 7.

COMMUNITY VOICE Congrats Eddie!
Eddie Brookshire Day: City recognizes local musician, educator AWARDS AND ACHIEVEMENTS
Eddie Brookshire plays the upright bass with his Dayton-based band, Eddie Brookshire’s Big Band,
By Don Thrasher Contributing Writer The Smithsonian Institution designated April as Jazz Appreciation Month in 2001 to commemorate the history and heritage of jazz in the United States. The Dayton Musicians Association recently obtained a city proclamation to make April Jazz Month in Dayton and the designation of April 17 as Eddie Brookshire Day. “The Smithsonian recognized jazz was a viable part of our culture,” said Dayton Musicians Association president Kweku Ayangade. “We wanted to get it recognized in Dayton because it’s important to get that message out about this art form. “Eddie Brookshire is one of our talented jazz musicians here in the area,”
Ayangade continued. “He’s a hometown boy and he’s been around, so it’s great to give
16
him that recognition now. You don’t wait until people pass away before you recognize them.” Brookshire, a musician and educator, admits he was surprised by the news.
“I don’t know what to think about it,” he said with a chuckle. “I’m honored by it, but it did come as a real surprise. I feel blessed, but I’m walking around in a half daze wondering just what it is and what it entails.”
Brookshire, who relocated to Dayton when he was 10, was born into a musical family in Carthage, Miss., in 1941. His father was a Delta blues guitarist and his mother played the bongos and sang in the church choir.
Brookshire started studying piano when he was 7 before switching three years later to clarinet, which he played throughout high school. He moved to Los Angeles in 1961 and started teaching himself electric bass. He was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1963 and received an honorable discharge in 1965.
He returned to Dayton in the late 1970s. Brookshire attended Sinclair Community College and Central State University, where he studied music and performed with big bands, jazz combos and ethnic music ensembles. Since then, the bass player has divided his time between teaching and performing with various groups, including the Eddie Brookshire Big Band, the Keigo Hirakawa Trio and the Kelli Campbell Quartet. “Music is a part of my day, all day and night,” Brookshire said. Well, I do get some sleep. (laughs) I’m still teaching down at Sinclair and I’m still running the big band, a quintet and a trio. I try to keep busy. Things aren’t going bad at all. There is a lot of church activity and I got involved with the Cub Scouts now.
“Things are going great,” he added. “It seems like life took a nice turn. Music has been treating me good so I’ll try to return the favor and treat it good.” Contact this contributing writer at donthrasher100@ gmail.com.
