Welcome To The Family

Recently, Flipper Chapel has welcomed three new parishioners into our humble family, the Sikazwe Family, as well as a member who has decided to re-dedicated himself to the church--Bro. Christopher Ward. Bro. Donald and Sis. Christine Sikazwe, along with their daughter Muziya, come to us from Bethel CME Church in Milwaukee, Wis. Interestingly, Bro. Sikazwe's mother, who often accompanies the family to chruch, is a former elder of the AME Church in Southern Africa. Bro. Ward is the son of our church secretary, Sis. Margaret Ward, and it is certainly refreshing to see him back in the number. On behalf of the Pastor, the officers and members of Flipper Chapel, we weould certainly like to, once again, welcome these individuals into the Flipper Family and extend to them a invitation to call on any member of the congregation if the need so arises.
