The Return of “The Pilgrimage” 2019 and Pastor Williams Book Sale
We welcome the return of the 2019 edition of the
Newsletter here at New Pilgrim Baptist Church and
Thank God for the volunteer staff that is working to
help bring the newsletter back. It is a true
statement, “An informed church is a peaceful
church!’” The Bible declares, “Where there is no
vision (knowledge) people perish.
Here at New Pilgrim our goal remains the same and
that is to reach people with the message of hope in
Jesus Christ. Never before on our life times are we
seeing so much engrave corruption and deceit. In
spite of what we are witnessing, we must not lose
hope nor our focus. We who know the truth must
value it at all cost. The reason why because our
freedom hinge upon truth. Ignorant and the
darkness of sins holds us as its prisoner, but the
revelation of truth continue to arm us with wisdom
and enlighten us of our past and revels hope for the
future. The Leadership staff here at New Pilgrim,
has sought for the past 35 years to clarify the vision
of its ministry. Therefore as a small congregation,
working together pray fully and through your given
Health Wise- Home Remedy for Cough
Why do we cough? Coughing is the body’s way of responding to irritants in the throat and the airways. The diaphragm muscle contract and try to expel the irritation. That is why coughing is considered beneficial to the body as it clears off the mucus from within. But when mucus accumulated in large quantities, it leads to an incessant cough making it difficult to sleep at night or get through the day. This simple remedy is good for a cough and has been tried and tested. A proven help. Benefits of Honey and Lemon for Cough Honey and lemon combined is a traditional cure for treating cough and has gained a fair credibility in the medical community. Each ingredient has its own power to treat a cough, and when used in combination, the benefits are double giving guaranteed results.
Properties of Honey –
Honey contains antibacterial properties that
help get rid of cough-causing bacteria
It is loaded with vital nutrients as potassium. It
also contains calcium, manganese, phosphorus
and copper. Minerals the body need for
normal and health functioning.
It helps repair and stimulate tissue growth.
It serves as antioxidants and eliminate harmful
free radicals from the body

we achieved a milestone at the close of 2018, where
we successfully paid the final note on the property
on Shell St Service Rd. We have set goals to begin
the stage of erecting the New Facility within this
year 2019. I am sure you are aware this desire
depends upon the well of GOD! In our Executive
Board meeting of Spring 2018 we share our
objectives. In December 2018 we committed
ourselves to the task and for that thank you. We
have joined as a team in the Capital Building Fund
Raising Campaign which by the way it is going well.
It is our goal to add an additional $100,000.00
dollars to the capital funds. We want to have
monies in place to meet the note soon so that we
can concentrate on Ministry.
As you may have realized by now, we are seeking to
work with God and not ahead of God. Indeed
following his given vision things are falling into
place. The New Facility will house the Sanctuary,
the Educational area for the teaching arm of the
church and the New Pilgrim Christian Bible College
and Seminary as well as office space, Nursery,
Library, and a Fellowship Hall. Also, room for future
expansion. Allow me, to invite you as a member, to
commit yourself within the coming days to become
more involved in the Ministry of the Church. Here
are some evangelist areas we are involved in as of
the result of your giving: The Women’s Center
which is located on Hwy 158 in Saraland, AL, The
Alabama Christian Children Home located in West
Mobile, Mercy Life Medical Adult Daycare and
Mobile Infirmary Hospital which is located on
Springhill Ave. For several years the evangelistic
team has established offsite VBS studying times at
various apartments’ complexes in Mobile Al. This
year the evangelistic team will be having VBS in
Saraland and Mobile apartment’s complexes.
During the Christmas season the Angel Tree. The
feeding of the First Responders family and city
workers of Saraland at the Saraland Civic Center
during the Christmas time and so much more! This
is an opportunity for you to join in any given area
and support the teaching arm of the church by
attending Early Morning, Sunday School and Mid-
Week Bible Study in which we have none members
who are often not in attendance. We miss your
physical present in this area. Remember, “Our
Motto is Come and Grow in Christ with us!

Qualities of a Faithful Christian Worker
On February 3, 2019 New Pilgrim Baptist Church
Usher’s Ministry celebrated their Annual Usher
Day. The theme this year was “For We are God
Workmanship” and the scripture that was used was
Ephesisians 2:10 “For we are His workmanship,
created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God
hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” Pastor Jody Laffite preached and his message was
entitled “I Want to Work for the Lord” and he
explain to us that we all may have other jobs but
the best type of job that you can have is to work for
the Lord. But some of us say we are workers for the
Lord but the true question is do we meet the
qualification of being a worker for the Lord. There
is a list of qualifications that we must meet to be a
True Faithful Christian Workers.
1&2 Timothy are sometimes called the Pastoral
Epistles because they are written especially for
teachers and leaders in the church.
There are seven qualifications that you must meet
in Order to be a True Faithful Christian Worker.
1. A Discipling Teacher
2. A Courageous Solider
3. A Law-Abiding Athlete
4. A Hard Working Farmer
5. A Diligent Workman
6. A Sanctified Vessel
7. A Gentle Servant
So as you look through these qualifications and
examine yourself you can picture the ideal
Christian worker
Things the Servant of Christ must be:
1. Utterly dedicated to work
2. Accurate and clear in his teaching
3. Upright in his character and conduct
4. Courteous and gentle in his manner
So ask yourself do I meet the qualifications of a
True Faithful Christian Worker? You may be
Surprised!!!

Properties of Lemon –
Is one of the citrus fruits that is rich in
vitamin C
Vitamin C helps the body build up the
immune system
Lemons have strong antibacterial and
antiviral properties
When combined the honey and lemon work
together to increase immunity against infections
and it loosens mucus, calms the throat, and clears
the irritated airways.
