Thank you to everyone who supported the Thank you to everyone who supported the $3.0 in 24MO!

Campaign and to those who attended the reception. This two year campaign officially ended on October 31, 2016. To date, the campaign allowed us to pay for the cost of nearly two of the five

floors. Your generosity has been overwhelming.

As you can see, we still have a way to go. For those who have not completed their pledge, we want you to continue your payments even though the campaign has ended from an accounting point of

view. All of your future payments will be noted to your pledge. We ask you to continue to support AbyWest. New initiatives will roll out soon as we continue to forge ahead to reach our goal of $8MM

to complete the entire five floor community center. We continue to strive to attain 100% participation because we want others to know our membership

is committed to this effort. Your support is greatly appreciated!

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION

Honoring Independence! These individuals and events celebrate

liberation and deliverance from all that was not of God. How many

questions can you respond to before checking the Abyssinian

website for the correct Bible reference points?

http://abyssinian.org/ministry/christian-education/abyssinian-institute-

for-christian-education/ Stay intentional about taking time to center

yourself, as you read the entire chapter where the answers are

found.

1. Name the general of Syria’s army who was liberated from his illness after the

prophet Elisha told him to wash in the Jordan River seven times.

2. Who was the man Paul regarded as a son in the faith while encouraging him

to remain in Ephesus and stand against false teachers of the law?

3. What were Jesus’ words when he touched the coffin of a young man before

giving him back to his mother?

4. Who was the wife of Cuza, the manager of Herod’s household, who traveled

with Jesus and helped to support his ministry, as he proclaimed the good

news of the kingdom of God?

TRUSTEE’S CORNER

ARE YOU RECEIVING PROPER

CREDIT FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS?

Please assist the Trustees in our weekly tally process by including your membership

numbers with your contributions. The membership number is the key element for

accurate recording of your gifts, and should be noted on all of your contributions for

proper credit. Please Remember:

➢ When placing your Tithe/Offering/Contribution in an envelope, make sure

that your assigned Abyssinian Baptist Church member number is visible

on the top right-hand side;

➢ If you are writing a check, please include your Church member number in

the memo line or at top of the check;

➢ Make sure to inform us of your intentions by noting amount for tithes,

offering, or AbyWest on the envelope, or in the memo section of your

check.

Proper notations, membership numbers, and clear intentions

will help to ensure accurate year-end reporting of your contributions.

MATCHING GIFT OPPORTUNITIES

Did you know that you can increase your gift to The Abyssinian Baptist Church by

simply notifying your

company? In 2018 we

received a strong response

from our membership for

the Matching Gift Program

which resulted in additional

contributions ranging from

25% - 100%.

Find out if your employer is one of more than 1,400 U.S. companies that participates in

the MATCHING GIFT PROGRAMS. Companies with a MATCHING GIFT

PROGRAM will make a donation to a nonprofit organization that their employees

support. Please check with your company's Human Resources Department to see if it

has a Matching Gift Program and applicable policies, then contact the Abyssinian

Development Committee, through Trustee Alexis Thomas, 212.862.7474 x210.

Every gift we receive helps us manage our Church's many programs. 2019 Donations can be

used to match your tithes, offerings and AbyWest contributions.

HEALTH

HEAT AWARENESS - WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW

• The body normally cools itself by sweating. However, during hot weather, especially with high

humidity, sweating is not enough!

• Body temperature can rise to dangerous levels if you don't drink enough water and rest in the

shade. You can end up suffering heat exhaustion or even worse – heat stroke!

HEAT SAFETY TIPS

• Drink water even when you don’t feel thirsty

• Minimize intake of alcoholic drinks

• Avoid caffeinated drinks and sugary drinks/juices

• Don’t over-exert yourself – especially during outdoor activities

DRESS THE PART – Wear wide brimmed hat, sunglasses light-colored clothing (cotton or linen

better) – and DON’T FORGET THE SUNSCREEN!

THE POTENTIAL IMPACT OF HEAT ON CHILDREN

• Heat affects children more acutely than adults

• Even on mild days in the 70s, studies show that the temperature inside a parked vehicle can

rapidly rise to a dangerous level for children, pets and even adults.

• Leaving the windows slightly open does not significantly decrease the heating

rate. The effects are more severe on

children because their bodies warm

at a faster rate than adults.

Heat Safety Tips for Parents/Those

who Supervise Children

• Touch a child's safety seat and safety belt before using it to ensure it's not

too hot before securing a child

• Never leave a child unattended in a

vehicle, even with the windows down -

even for just a minute!

• Teach children not to play in, on, or

around cars. They could accidentally

trap themselves in a hot vehicle.

• Always lock car doors and trunks--

even at home--and keep keys out of

children's reach.

• Always make sure children have left

the car when you reach your

destination – LOOK BEFORE YOU

LOCK !

• NEVER leave sleeping infants in the

car, EVER!

Don’t forget about the pets!
