...effectively managing God’s resources Each saint of God should be a maturing disciple of Jesus Christ. In 2020 we expect each member to aspire to a higher level of worship, relationship, discipleship and stewardship.

Ephes. 4:11-16 (NKJV) And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, [12] for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, [13] till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; [14] that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, [15] but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head--Christ-- [16] from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

In this new year, each of us should renew our commitment to the Lord Jesus, to one another as brothers and sisters in Christ, and to seeing lost souls served and saved.

Matthew 9:37-38 (NKJV) Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. [38] Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest." Sunday Morning Worship

****Black History Spotlight****

Dr. Patricia Bath (November 4, 1942 - May 30, 2019)

Who was Patricia Bath? Patricia Bath was the first African American to complete a residency in in 1973. Two years later, she became the first female faculty member in the Department of Ophthalmology at UCLA's Jules Stein Eye Institute. In 1976, Bath co-founded the American Institute for the Prevention of Blindness, which established that "eyesight is a basic human right." In 1986, Bath invented the Laserphaco Probe, improving treatment for patients. She patented the device in 1988, becoming the first African Ameri- can female doctor to receive a medical patent.

Early Life Bath was born on November 4, 1942, in City's neighborhood to Ru- pert Bath, the first black motorman for the subway system, and Gladys Bath, a housewife and domestic worker who used her salary to save money for her chil- dren's education. Bath was encouraged by her family to pursue academic interests. Her father, a former Merchant Marine and an occasional newspaper columnist, taught Bath about the wonders of travel and the value of exploring new cultures. Her mother piqued the young girl's interest in science by buying her a chemistry set.

As a result, Bath worked hard on her intellectual pursuits and, at the age of 16, became one of only a few students to attend a research workshop sponsored by the National Science Foundation. The program head, Dr. Robert Bernard, was so impressed with Bath's discoveries during the project that he incorporated her findings in a scientific paper he presented at a conference. The publicity surrounding her discoveries earned Bath the Mademoiselle magazine's Merit Award in 1960.

After graduating from high school in only two years, Bath headed to , where she earned a bachelor's degree in 1964. She then attended to pursue a medical degree. Bath graduated with honors from Howard in 1968, and accepted an internship at Harlem Hospital shortly afterward. The following year, she also began pursuing a fellowship in ophthalmology at . Through her studies there, she discovered that were twice as likely to suffer from blindness than other patients to which she attended, and eight times more likely to develop . Her research led to her development of a community ophthalmology system, which increased the amount of eye care given to those who were unable to afford treatment.

****Black History Spotlight****

Pioneer in Ophthalmology In 1973, Patricia Bath became the first African American to complete a residency in ophthalmology. She moved to the following year to work as an assistant professor of surgery at both Charles R. Drew University and the University of California, Los Angeles. In 1975, she became the first female faculty member in the Department of Ophthalmology at UCLA's Jules Stein Eye Institute.

In 1976, Bath co-founded the American Institute for the Prevention of Blindness, which established that "eyesight is a basic human right." By 1983, Bath had helped create the Ophthalmology Residency Training program at UCLA-Drew, which she also chaired - becoming, in addition to her other firsts, the first woman in the nation to hold such a position.

Inventing the Laserphaco Probe In 1981, Bath began working on her most well-known invention: the Laserphaco Probe (1986). Harnessing technology, the device created a less painful and more precise treatment of . She received a patent for the device in 1988, becoming the first African American female doctor to receive a patent for a medical purpose. She also holds patents in Japan, Canada and Europe. With her Laserphaco Probe, Bath was able to help restore the sight of individuals who had been blind for more than 30 years.

In 1993, Bath retired from her position at the UCLA Medical Center and became an honorary member of its medical staff. That same year, she was named a "Howard University Pioneer in Academic Medicine."

Among her many roles in the medical field, Bath was a strong advocate of telemedicine, which uses technology to provide medical services in remote areas.

In 2009 her advocacy for the blind was recognized by President , who appointed her to his commission for digital accessibility for the blind.

Patricia Bath died on May 30, 2019 from cancer related complications at age 76.
