amazed by the depth and breadth of

Your love. Over and over again, You

OFFERTORY PRAYER

Generous God, You have given us many

gifts and drawn us together into Christ's

body, the church. You have blessed us

with generous and cheerful spirits. May

the tithes, mission offerings and

sacrificial gifts support the ministry of

Your church. May what we give be a sign

of our faithfulness to You. May we

become loaves of bread for those who are

hungry and guiding lights for those who

are lost. In the Name of Christ, and in

the power of the Holy Spirit, we pray.

Amen.

"Live a life of love just as Christ loved

us and gave himself for us as a sweet-

smelling offering and sacrifice to God."

Ephesians 5:2

In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus heard the cry of ten lepers pleading for mercy.

Although most people ignored them, Jesus did not. Jesus had compassion on

them. Jesus blessed them with the healing they desired, and with the exception

of one leper, all of them forgot the God who blessed them. When all ten were

sick they had time to lift their voices to Christ, but when they were healed

they had no time for Christ. Like the lepers, most people will seek a blessing

but they will not seek the Blesser. Are your blessings causing you to forget

the God of the blessings?

A Brief History of New Prospect Missionary Baptist Church

In 1924 a few officers and members of Mount Beulah, banded together and organized a

church which they named Mount Lebanon Baptist Church. Two ministers worked

together in the organization of the church. This small faithful group of people purchased

a lot at 20470 Wisconsin in Detroit. More people moved into the area, joined Mount

Lebanon Baptist Church and the name was changed to First Baptist Church.

Reverend Smith served as Pastor until 1929. Reverend Theodore Williams served from

1931 until 1935. The church called Reverend Pyles who served about three years and

rebuilt First Baptist. He was unable to finish rebuilding the church because God called

him from labor to reward. Reverend Sandy Gibson, who was the assistant to Reverend

Pyles, carried out his term and was elected for a short period in 1939.

Reverend Charles B. Heath was called as pastor in the spring of 1939. Much was

accomplished under Reverend Heath’s administration. Due to the fact that there were

two churches in Detroit with the same name, Reverend Heath had the church change its

name from First Baptist to New Prospect Baptist Church on January 7, 1945.

In 1953 the church voted to enlarge their present building. The members were

supportive of this effort and contributed considerably. In March 1960, the members

borrowed ten thousand dollars and made the down payment to purchase the 6330

Pembroke building. Reverend Heath pastored the church for twenty eight (28) years

until his death in 1967.

In February 1968, the church called Reverend Dr. S. Leon Whitney from Jackson,

Mississippi. Under his pastoral leadership an addition to the Pembroke Property was

made and the facilities were expanded to its current structure. There was much growth

under Reverend Whitney until his death in December 1990. His son, Reverend Dr. Keith

L. Whitney assumed the pastoral leadership from 1991 until 1996. Reverend Randolph F.

Henlon who was the Assistant Pastor at the time served as Interim Pastor from 1996 until

March 1999.

On March 1, 1999, history was made in Detroit. Reverend Wilma Robena Johnson, a

female assistant pastor at Hartford Memorial Baptist Church, was elected Senior Pastor

of New Prospect Missionary Baptist Church. A new light appeared in the community.

THIS IS THE CHURCH WHERE THE SPIRIT OF UNITY ABIDES.

THIS IS THE CHURCH WHERE THE VISION LIVES AND SHINES!
