“I Have the Favor of God” Psalm 41:11
From the Pastor
Praise the Lord Saints,
uring the past ten years that God has ordained Upper Room
Worship Center and called me into the Pastoral office, I am in
utter amazement at how faithful God is to His Word.
If you put your trust in God, He will never fail you. The road has not
been easy, the sun has not always been shining, and the resources have
not always been available, but God has never failed us.
I am reminded of a songwriter, Rev. Clay Evans, who wrote, “As I look
back over my life and I think things over, I can truly say that I’ve been
blessed; I have a testimony.”
I am convinced that one of the most important weapons we have
against the enemy and the most strategic pulling power we have with
unbelievers is our testimony. Don’t ever be ashamed of where God has
brought you from because if He brought you to it, He will bring you
through it. People of God, Galatians 6:9 declares, “And let us not be
weary in well
doing: for in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not.”
Let us step into the new vision… let’s step into the new position… let’s
step into the new anointing… let’s step into the new power and
authentic presence of God. The best is yet to come. This is our exodus,
our new beginning!
Humbly submitted by your Senior Pastor, Dr. Alexis Stone

MINISTRIES HIGHLIGHTS
Apostle Alexis Stone,
Reflecting with joy on the impact you’ve made as a Bishop…. Your messages don’t just echo through
your church; they echo through our lives. God’s work through your hands is a masterpiece. A
decade of dedication. A lifetime of love. We honor your steadfast commitment to spiritual
leadership and celebrate you on this special milestone.
”And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9
Your sacrifice and commitment to the ministry is inspiring. Your grace and patience shine through in all you
do. In every prayer and every smile, your love for the church is evident. You are a beacon of hope and love.
Your tireless devotion to your spiritual family does not go unnoticed and your selfless service is an inspiration

We would like to extend my blessings of congratulations on your monumental 10th Anniversary
milestone of leadership at the Upper Room Worship Center…………
First Lady Pamela Stone,
God Bless,
David & Lisa Shelborne
And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets;
and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and
teachers; for the perfecting of saints, unto the work of
ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ:
till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the
knowledge of the Son of God, unto a full grown man,
unto the measure of the stature of the
fullness of Christ.” Ephesians 4:11-13
A heartfelt thank you to all the guest speakers,
guest churches, pastors, apostles, ministers,
family, and friends who contributed to the
success of this celebration. Your support, love,
and sacrifices beautifully demonstrated your
appreciation for our Pastor and Elect Lady.
