I send greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This has truly been an exciting year for the Greater MD 1^st Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction. The Lord has truly dwelt amongst us during the various services and gatherings that have taken place during this calendar year.

            The Annual Service of Rededication and Jurisdictional Appointments is where we had our first jurisdictional service. Later we would gather during the Worker’s Meeting, Jurisdictional A.I.M, and our Holy Convocation. With the various department meetings, district meetings, and public gatherings, each proved to be a wonderful gathering of the saints of Greater MD. The successes of these events were due to the presence of the Lord descending upon us, and the support of each one of you,the members of this great jurisdiction. Your support is invaluable as we endeavor to take this jurisdiction the next level.

            I am thankful to each and every one of you who has not only supported the vision of this jurisdiction with your prayers, but also with your financial support and Godly wisdom. In an effort to continue the enhancing of Greater MD 1^st we once again held our Jurisdiction summit. During this time, we discuss the current state of our jurisdiction, and the goals for said jurisdiction in the upcoming year. Details of a presentation given on Thursday night of the summit can be downloaded off of the website.

            I look forward to seeing you at the final occasion of our calendar year. The Christmas fellowship, convening at the Emmanuel Ministries Church of God In Christ, is where we will once again enjoy the presence of the Lord during the season that was created to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Once again I thank you support and prayers as we continue to ascend higher in God.
