CHURCH COVENANT

As a body of believers, having confessed with our mouth the Lord Jesus Christ and having believed in our hearts that God have raised him from the dead, we are saved. Hereby, on the public expression of our faith, having been baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, in the presence of God and His Holy Word, we do now enter into covenant with one another as one body in Christ.

We, agree therefore, by the leadership of the Holy Spirit, to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul and mind; to love our neighbor as ourselves, and to walk together in Christian love by assembling ourselves together to worship and to experience Christian fellowship.

We also agree to watch over one-another in brotherly love; to remember one another in prayer; to aid one-another in sickness and distress; to promote family and private devotions; to search the scriptures; and to be in attendance of Sunday School, Worship Service, and other programs offered to the church.

We further agree to live by the principals set forth in the Organizational Discipline, and to contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the ministry, to the expenses of the church, to the relief of the poor, and to the spread of the gospel to our neighbor.

We moreover agree to unite ourselves together in a fellowship of holiness, to go into the highways and hedges compelling the lost to come, and to carry out the spirit of this covenant and to the principles of God’s Word.

Association with Mission Church and Mt. Carmel – Rev. Bryan K. Oxendine, read the following:

The Home Mission Board makes the following report: As you may recall during our Annual Session held at Cherokee Chapel Church November 12, 13 & 14, in the Year of our Lord 2010, the Home Mission Board was given a directive to investigate the intent or desire of the Mission Church and Mt. Carmel with regard to the said churches coming into membership with the Lumber River Holiness Methodist Conference. This Board had individual meetings with the pastors of said churches in a special informal question and answer manner conducted in brotherly love. When the question of desire for membership was asked in both cases, regrettably the answer was “NOT AT THIS TIME”. This Board expressed its sorrowful regrets and very tenderly and lovingly expressed to them that the door will continue to remain open and our reach to them would be continuous. In conclusion, the pastors of said churches, Mt. Carmel and Mission Church , their desire is to remain in membership with the Conference Bar and will seek membership in one of our local churches which will complete the requirements for their continued


membership. Members: Bryan K. Oxendine, Chairman, Rev. Marvin Locklear and Rev. Steve Locklear

He also stated that our Minister Reports need to be correct in information that is required, limit reports at Annual Conference to no more

than five (5) minutes and members need to read the current Doctrines and Discipline and journals.

Rev. Jimmy Locklear gave a report on his recent visit to a small community in the Country of Brazil, South America. Rev. Locklear preached to the people through an interpreter. These people are yearning to hear about our God and are willing to walk several miles, to and fro, just to hear the Word of God being preached. Bibles were purchased and given to some of the members. Other individuals that did not receive a Bible, were excited just to put their hands on these Bibles. A Brazilian Outreach Ministry was established by Cherokee Chapel Church to aid in a return trip by Rev. Locklear and others. This trip is planned for July of this year when more Bibles will be purchased and presented to the people. Rev. Locklear will again preach in a revival and he and the others will assist in a construction capacity to a Church in the general area. Rev.

Morning Message: Rev. Elton Hunt – “Worldly Compromise Leads To Deadly Landmines” 1 Kings 11:11

1. One of the most deadly landmines in a believer’s life is worldly compromise. It will destroy our testimony, our joy, our peace and land us in a deadly landmine.A. Solomon was blessed with God’s wisdom. He had wealth, power and respect but he began to

compromise God’s plan for worldly pleasure.B. The nature of worldly compromise.

1. It begins with a little step. Solomon did not fall, he gradually slipped into the deadly landmine.

C. Consequences of worldly compromise.1. Solomon lost his fellowship with God.2. Solomon became more desperate for worldly compromise and never found complete

satisfaction.3. Solomon lost his respect in the deadly landmine.

D. How to stay out of the deadly landmine.1. Follow the Holy Spirit and not our fleshly feelings.

Worship Service

Session began at 8:30 AM. Welcome delivered by Rev. Jimmy Locklear. Theme Song, “All I Need”, sang by the congregation. Prayer requests were given and prayers were delivered.

Morning Sermon – Rev. Scott Hammonds – Called to Leadership – Henry Ford thought one day to build a vehicle and there he built a car. The Wright Brothers thought about building an airplane and from there the first plan was built. It takes working together and someone to lead. Nehemiah began to be concerned about the state of Jerusalem’s despair. So Nehemiah went about crying, fasting, repenting and going before the king for help and his feeling the demeanor to lead. Nehemiah began to be a leader and put on


his coat of courage. If Nehemiah would never have connected with the king, provisions would not have been made to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. If we have no connectivity one with another our ministry will not grow.

The apostles continued steadfastly in doctrine and fellowship and in breaking of bread and in prayers.They didn’t mind connecting one with another. Nehemiah was serious about his leadership responsibilities. I wonder, are we serious?

NOTE: The following letter was presented:

November 12, 2011 To: The Lumber River Conference of the Holiness Methodist Church From: The Reverend Clyde Locklear Dear Bishop Woods, Conference Secretary and Members of the Conference Bar Due to some personal issues that relate to myself and my family that cannot be resolved at this time, it is with great sadness that I tenure my resignation effective immediately. Having been a member of the conference for as long as I have, I feel that it is more appropriate that this be done publicly. I would love to be with you in person, however due to sickness I am unable to be there. I have asked that this statement be read in its entirety to the Conference Bar and that my written statement be placed in the records. I would like to thank all the members of the LRCHMC for their years of support and encouragement especially the Bishops of our Conference who demonstrated faith in my ability to lead a number of congregations within our great organization. It is my desire not to be an embarrassment or bring a reproach to the Conference or to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I ask that you keep my family and myself in your prayers. Sincerely yours,


Clyde LocklearClyde Locklear

Conference Superintendent’s Report111th Annual Session

2010 – 2011

My fellow Annual Conference and Church members:

This conference year has ended and I pray that God is pleased with our endeavors for His glory.

Maxton Full Gospel, Hopewell, Cherokee Chapel, New Bethel, New Prospect, Union Chapel, Macedonia, Shoeheel and Riverside Memorial may we enjoy fellowship with one another and win souls for the ‘GLORY” of God because there is coming a day when:

1. We can’t decide anything anymore (we will die).2. We can’t do any of those things we should have done (we will die).

A. My brothers and sisters, we still have today and may we praise the Lord and make the most of it. Time is running out for all of us but there’s today.

With respect,

Elton HuntConference Superintendent

Education Board Report111th Annual Session

2010 – 2011


The Education Board met on several occasions and the Topic of Study for the Conference-wide Study Course was on “Prayer”. Dr. Dalton Brooks was the speaker for this course. He gave us a very good course on the “Topic of Prayer”. He had a very good syllabus for the attendees to follow. Some of the topics covered were “What is Prayer, How People Pray and The Types of Prayer”. He covered the different types of prayer of people in the Bible and the prayers of our Savior.

A special thanks to the Education Committee for their hard work and to the Conference for allowing us to have the Study Course. The number of people that attended the Study Course was over 200.

Conference Lay Leaders Summary

Senior Citizen Month was held at each church in September 2010.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE ANNUAL SESSION

Pastors, please encourage our young people to get involved with the church functions that are being held. This starts in the pulpit. If the pastors are not concerned or interested, how can you back your Lay Leader? When you elect a Lay Leader at your church, is she qualified? Is she willing to support our youth functions and Conference functions? If not, this falls on your church and our Conference. There are a lot of children being left out. Every Lay Leader should have an assistant to stand in if needed and also attend all our meetings for updates.

Sisters in Christ,

Home and Foreign Mission Report111th Annual Session

2010 – 2011

To the 111th Annual Session of the Lumber River Conference of the Holiness Methodist Church, we make the following report:

The Home and Foreign Mission Board disbursed allocated funds to two Foreign Missions in 2011:$1,000 – Trinidad, West Indies – To assist Rev. Alonzo Oxendine and Bro. Robert Chavis with

travel expenses.$1,000 – Towards mission trip of Rev. Jimmy F. Locklear and Cherokee Chapel Church for

missionary trip to Brazil, South America.

Part of their mission consisted of purchasing Bible in their Native language. To God be the glory.

Our founding Conference leaders had a vision of proclaiming our Faith Worldwide. Mission work at home and aboard is the heard of God! 2nd Corinthians 9:6-9: But this I say, He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposed in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity; for God loveth a cheerful giver. God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work; as it is written, he has dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: His righteousness remaineth forever.


Respectfully,

Rev. Bryan Keith OxendineRev. Steve LocklearRev. Marvin Locklear

These are the changes to the Discipline that we recommend that the Conference Bar vote on.

1. That one will be brought into Traveling or Full Connection that has a living ex-wife or a wife that has a living ex-husband and in a double marriage situation. This will be effective on the date it is voted on and passed.

2. That no Minister or Clergy from outside the conference will not be able to perform any services or functions that our own clergy of this Conference are not allowed to perform in our Church or on our Church properties, without the approval of the Conference Bishop or the Conference Superintendent. This will go along with the rules and regulations of the Doctrines and Discipline of the Holiness Methodist Church – Page 20, Item #5.

Nomination Committee Report111th Annual Session

2010 – 2011

According to the process we have adopted for electing officers in the past, offices of Secretary, Treasurer, Supervisor and Lay Leader, we, the Nominating Committee, have received applications from the offices of Secretary, Supervisor and Lay Leader. Therefore, we place in nomination the following persons:

Secretary – Sis. Dianne BelcherLay Leader – Sis. Kathy OxendineSunday School Supervisor – Bro. Crawley Locklear

We present these as one slate. But we have no problem if the Conference chooses to vote on these individually.

We regret to report to this Conference Bar that we received no applications for the office of Treasurer. We were not able (twist any arms). But we were able to work out a reasonable solution. We give our Secretary elect a new title- Secretary/Treasurer. She would assume full responsibility for the office of the Treasurer; that the retiring Treasurer would serve as her assistant and trainer. Therefore, we do not lose our present Treasurer and the wonderful work he has done in serving this Conference for the past ten years.

May I say, we have met with the afore-named applicants and they have already discussed between themselves the division of the work load. For this arrangement and for tehse services, the Conference would pay $800 to each.
