Pastor Williams took his time peeling back the layers of spiritual darkness-- layer by layer. "No matter what you go through, I will always bless the Lord [Yahweh]", repeated Pastor Williams. Pastor Williams created an excitement in the air as he made Psalm 34 relevant to what people facing every day in their lives. He also shared a personal testimony of a recent medical issue he went through where he was unable to get out of bed. Williams explained how the doctor told him that "It wasn't COVID and not the Flu, but it seemed to have passed." Williams stated, to the enthusiastic crowd, "There's power in prayer!" This moved nearly everyone to their feet. Conclusion: This was a Saturday night well spent. In church with like-minded people who came together for praise and worship... priceless. If I had the to do it all over again, would I show up? Answer: a thousand times yes, yes, yes. I would be right there.

Event's keynote speaker was Minister Brandy Smith who gave a powerful and eye-opening message to inspire hope and a better future for women. Her message focused on getting back to the values taught to us by the earlier generations of grandmothers who were "praying" and "God-fearing" women of character.

Today, 157 years later the signing of that groundbreaking document is remembered and celebrated in African American churches across America. The Holy Ghost Center in Guyton, Ga is one such church that is keeping the annual tradition alive. A number of Pastors come out to support the event to show their solidarity.  Keynote speaker, Reverend Frederick D. Favors, theme was “Remember Jerusalem” –getting back to God. Rev. Favors said, “If we forget Jerusalem if we forget the core values that God gave us in Jerusalem and we stop loving one another...” Rev. Favors spoke passionately on the subject of “Identity crises” –how many within the African American community have forgotten “who we are and our identity.” The event included participation of our youth through the organization called HYPE (Helping Young People Excel). Several of the youths read from the Emancipation Proclamation document and gave commentary. The program: Presiding Minister—Overseer Sylvester Boston; Emancipation Proclamation Choir; Scripture—Bishop Troy Lawton; Prayer—Minister Timothy Darby; Welcome—Missionary Arlene Daniels, THGCC; Welcome—Ms. Lula Seabrooks, NAACP; HYPE-- Helping Young People Excel; Emancipation Proclamation Presentation—Mr. Lindsay Gaskin; Solo—Sister Pauline Mydell; Special Presentation—Mr. Leroy Lloyd; Introduction of Speaker—Ms. Lucy Powell; Speaker—Rev.
