Thou shall have no other Gods before me. People:(Sing) Lord have mercy upon us, and incline our heart to keep this law. Minister: Hear what Christ our Savior saith, thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with thy entire mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. People:(Sing) Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. ...Amen Minister: Songs of Praise WomenвЂ™s Day Choir THE ORDER OF WORSHIP IS UNDER THE DIRECTION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE BY HIS INSTRUCTIONS THE CHURCH IN WORSHIP Devotional Service/ Praise and WorshipвЂ¦вЂ¦вЂ¦вЂ¦вЂ¦вЂ¦вЂ¦вЂ¦вЂ¦вЂ¦вЂ¦вЂ¦.вЂ¦.....Diaconate Ministry/ Praise Team CORPORATE PRAYER PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW Praise God from whom all blessings flow, Praise Him all creatures here below.

Our feet shall stand within thy gates, Oh Jerusalem. Psalm 122:1-2 People: For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand, I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. Psalm 84:10 Minister: There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. People: For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. Minister: For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: he condemned sin in the flesh. People: That the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. Minister: For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

He descended into hell. On the third day He arose from the dead. He ascended into Heaven and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father almighty, from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit; the Holy Christian Church; the Communion of Saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen Rev. Dr. Brenda Lumzy-Hicks is the daughter of Dr. Robert L. and Emma Lumzy. She was baptized in the Baptist faith at a young age. She graduated in 1969 from Marion Central High School in Columbia, Mississippi and moved to New Brunswick, NJ where she married her high school sweetheart, Minister Milton Hicks. They are blessed with two A's Anthony and Anita Hicks. Recognizing music as one of her other gifts, she began singing with her sisters. "The Lumzy Sisters," and traveled the world ministering the good news through song. Rev. Dr. Brenda completed two years at Middlesex County College in Edison, NJ in creative writing and graduated with a four-year certificate from Monmouth Bible Institute in Farmingdale, NJ; in June 2005 she received her Bachelor's Degree from Faith Deliverance Institute in Perth Amboy, NJ in June 2008 she graduated with her Masters and in June 2010 she received her Doctorate. Recognizing that her ministry goes much deeper than just singing, she also realized that God has commissioned her to preach and appointed her to proclaim liberty to the captive, to bind up the broken-hearted, and to open the prison doors to those that are bound. She was licensed to preach the gospel in 1990 and received her Certificate of Ordination in 1998 through the Good Hope Baptist Association of Pennsylvania. Embracing the gift of love and prophecy, she shares with young men and women all across the country through revivals, evangelism, singing, youth crusades, prison ministry, counseling, and women's conferences. Powerful testimonies have been raised of how her ministry has helped change many lives and how yokes have been destroyed as she ministers under the anointing. Under the commission of the Holy Spirit, Prophetess Brenda founded New Birth Deliverance Ministries. She also serves as manager for The Lumzy Sister's singing ministry, as founder and president of the Annual Deep South Festival, promoting "Unity in the Community," and founder of "Women of Purpose," which travels worldwide portraying Women of the Bible. She has authored her first book entitled, "Hell Is Real вЂ“ One Way In! No Way Out!" She is also a song writer and bible study teacher, but the acclamations that she holds in her fondest memories are the many letters she receives from people whose lives have been touched through her ministry. She served as Assistant Pastor under the leadership of Dr. R.L Lumzy, Sr. for eight years at Mt. Calvary Missionary Baptist Church in New Brunswick, NJ until March 2007 when she was elected pastor. Jeremiah 3:15 says, "I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.вЂќ Prophetess Brenda is a woman after God's own heart. VISION To develop fully mature disciples of Jesus Christ. MISSION STATEMENT The mission of Rose of Sharon Community Church is to deepen our experience and knowledge of God, through WORSHIP, EDUCATION, MINISTRY and FELLOWSHIP; to proclaim the gospel and minister in the name of Christ, our Savior, to the needs of all PEOPLE; to encourage the growth of each family, restore the lost and to promote LOVE, peace and social justice throughout the world. *CHURCH MOTTO I am only one, but I am one, I cannot do everything, but I can do something.
