Perfected Praise Worship Center (PPWC) is a multifaceted Worship Center dedi-
cated to helping individuals of all ages, in every life situation. We believe God has
given every person a destiny to fulfill no matter their social, economic, or cultural
background.
Our approach differs from many ministries through our unshakable confidence in
positive change. This confidence is manifest in the radical transformation that has
already occurred among our members. Our diverse array of ministries contributes
to this success.
At PPWC, we recognize a ‘seed of greatness’ planted by God within the heart of
every believer. Through our various ministries, we nurture this seed into a com-
mitment to serve those in need. We hold steadfast to the philosophy, “The greatest
of all is the servant of all.”
Perfected Praise Worship Center strives for innovation. The various departments
of PPWC will reflect our holistic approach to ministry. Please review our spec-
trum of ministries and we invite you to find your place.

I still cannot believe that we have transitioned into the Autumn season. Although
it is still 90+ degrees here in Oklahoma, we do understand the season will soon
change. I pray as we begin to move closer to the final months of another year that
we begin to also transition into a period of real Worship. Our church name indi-
cates that we are a people that don’t mind worshipping the Lord – Perfected Praise
Worship Center.
Worship is defined as an act of religious devotion usually directed towards a deity.
The word is derived from the Old English worthscipe, meaning worthiness or
worth-ship, to give, at its simplest, worth to something or someone.
To the Believer, Worship is defined as “The absolute acknowledgment of all that
lies beyond us.” It is the response that we as conscious beings make to God, our
Heavenly Father, Creator and Sustainer. When it comes to God, it means that we
ascribe to God His worth. It means that we state and affirm His supreme value and
glory. Worship asserts the reality that the heavens and earth are filled with the
glory of God, therefore we must recognize and acknowledge Him for who He is.
An act of worship may be expressed individually, in an informal or formal group,
or by a designated leader. Religious worship happens in a wide variety of loca-
tions: in purpose-built places of worship, at home or in the open. Certainly, we as a
church family can attest to that as we have transitioned from the S.W. side of the
City and then to N.E. and now resting in the North side of Oklahoma City. We are
praying for one more transition that we can finally call our own! What a day of
worship that will be!
Even in the midst of our struggles this year, we worship because of our relation-
ship with God. We humble ourselves as we give glory, honor, reverence, awe, re-
spect and homage to God. This means that we recognize His vast superior standing
and we humble ourselves before Him and give glory to Him. Let us continue to
worship as God moves us to higher ground.

We have competed another year of our Standard Lesson Commentary for
the 2011-2012 year. Our entire year was based on Justice. The lessons for
the year were based on four quarters.
The Fall Quarters lessons (Sept, Oct Nov 2011) were on Tradition and Wis-
dom coming from Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon and Matthew. The
Winter Quarters lessons (Dec 2011, Jan, Feb 2012) was God Establishing a
Faithful People coming from Genesis, Exodus, Luke and Galatians. The
Spring Quarters lessons (Mar, Apr, May) was based on God’s Creative Word
coming from John and the Summer Quarters lessons (Jun, Jul, Aug) was God
Calls for Justice coming from Pentateuch, History, Psalms and the Prophets.
We had a powerful year and look forward to the beginning of our next les-
son cycle beginning the month of September 2012. The entire year will be
based on FAITH. The year for Unit One we will be discussing What Faith Is.
The second unit will be Who Understands Faith? And our third unit will be
Where Does Faith Take Us.
This year brought us some challenges however I believe that the challenges
have strengthened us. We truly believe in God’s word “We Walk By Faith
And Not By Sight” 2 Corinthians 5:7. KJV. It is that faith that we will study
and grow within us.
We welcome you to come out on Sunday mornings to our Life Seminar
which begins at 9:30 AM. We have a class for every age. Our youth and teen
classes have been as they like to say “jogging through the Bible”. We have
started with Genesis and will discuss every book of the Bible and how they can
apply the word of God to their individual lives. We also have a new comers
class that is taught by our Minister of Christian Education. We welcome all
questions and our teachers live by what they teach.
We are planning on activities this year and a picnic which we are looking
forward to. We would love to have you join us.
God Bless You and Keep You.

Gather the people together, men and women and children and thy stranger that is
within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear the LORD
your God, and observe to do all the words of this law. Deuteronomy 31:12 KJV

Take the
21 DAY Challenge!!
From the beginning of the Old Testament to the ending of the New Testament, words were spoken by
God, Jesus, the disciples and things happened. God spoke and creation existed! The Bible shows us
by example that words play a very large part in our life. Thinking and speaking positively is some-
thing that will bring about healing, prosperity, joy and love.
Words can bless a person or they can curse a person. Words that ridicule, torment, harass and tear
down a person will never bring life. The Lord says our thoughts are not His, but they can be His if we
will change our way of thinking and speaking. For 21 Days let us meditate on Christ words and
Think before we speak or Act!!! Philippians 4:8 give us and excellent blueprint o remind us as Chris-
tians; “Think before we speak!!!”
Proverbs 16:24 states that: Pleasant words are honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and healing to the
bones. Changing our speaking will change our life, allowing us to become stronger vessels for Christ.
God’s Word to assist us during this 21 DAY challenge:
You say: 'It's impossible' God says: All things are possible (Luke 18:27)
You say: 'I'm too tired' God says: I will give you rest (Matthew 11:28-30)
You say: 'Nobody really loves me' God says: I love you (John 3:16 & John 3:34 )
You say: 'I can't go on' God says: My grace is sufficient (2 Cor 12:9
You say: 'I can't figure things out' God says: I will direct your steps (Proverbs 3:5-6)
You say: 'I can't do it' God says: You can do all things ( Philippians 4:13)
You say: 'I'm not able' God says: I am able (2 Cor 9:8)
You say: 'I can't manage' God says: I will supply all your needs
(Philippians 4:19)
Think before you speak
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatso-
ever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report;
if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8

AMEN Ministry
Deacon Kebe Newman , Superintendent
God has anointed you so that you may be equipped for every good work: to
resist evil, to know the truth, to preach the Word, to be able to pray, to have
fellowship with God.
Have you ever considered yourself to be an anointed Christian?
Maybe you've thought that only certain people in ministry are anointed?
Maybe you've only considered that the O.T. prophets and the N.T. apostles
were the only ones anointed and that you are not.
No matter what you have or haven't thought about the anointing of God, if you are a Christian, then you have
received an anointing.
According to Webster's Dictionary, to anoint means to "rub oil or ointment on," "to put oil on in a ceremony
of consecration." So, to anoint something or someone is to apply something, in this case oil, to an object.
Prophets were anointed
1 Kings 19:16 says, "Also, anoint Jehu son of Nimshi king over Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat
from Abel Meholah to succeed you as prophet" (NIV)
Priests were anointed Exodus 40:13, says "Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments, anoint him and consecrate him so he may
serve me as priest" (NIV).
Kings were anointed 1 Samuel 16:3,13 says, "Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what to do. You are to anoint for
me the one I indicate...13So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers,
and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came upon David in power. Samuel then went to
Ramah," (NIV).
1. Man of God you are anointed for service! You are anointed vessels of God. You have been cleansed by
God and been filled with the Holy Spirit.
2. Not only is He in you but He is upon you.
3. As the Holy Spirit came upon the disciples at Pentecost in the upper room and anointed them for service,
you too have been anointed by God with the Holy Spirit for Christian service.
I have taught you this so that you would learn about your anointing.
MODERN IDOLS
Introductory question: What are idols? What do you
understand about them?
In the Old Testament, God was very annoyed because
people did not worship him, but idols instead. They
seemed to devote themselves to visible idols more than
an invisible God.
We now no longer live in the Old Testament times and
no one today would worship some idealistic images
(there are bound to be a few exceptions). Despite this, the situation is not
much different today. Even today, we still run after some kind of idols:
money, power, football or pop stars.
What else can you think of? What are the modern idols of today? If you are
serious about your relationship with God, then he takes the first position in
your life. Is Jesus important to you?
In the book according to Matthew in chapter 6, verses 19-21, there is a very
suitable sentence:
"Where you find your treasure, there is your heart!" You can ask
yourself what your heart belongs to. Which things do you run after in life,
which things are important in your life and do you spend your time?

Prayer At ALL Times
When we're in need of guidance
Through times we cannot see
Just where we are heading
Or where we ought to be
When we need more faith
Through times that we doubt,
For those times when we ques-
tion
What life is all about
When we're in need of comfort
Through times of so much grief,
Those times when our hearts
ache
And we have so many needs
When we need a friend
Through times when we're
lonely,
Those times when there's no
one,
Just God and us only
When we need more power
For those times we're attacked
The struggle with temptation
Is one of Satan's traps
When we have His blessings
Abundant in our lives
When things are going well
And doors open wide
Through all of these times
In life that we go through,
One thing is very certain
In what we all should do
That we should never cease
From a lifetime of prayer,
For praying opens heaven's
doors
And causes us to hear
What God wants to say to us
And the things He longs to show
So we can walk in His perfect
will
Wherever we shall go.
