GREETINGSRev. Dr. Evalina HugginsPresiding ElderGreetings Beloved!Wow, it's already been eight years as your Presiding Elder, and I am grateful to every Pastor, Minister, DistrictOfficer, and Layperson who comprises the Baltimore District. Together, we have accomplished manyphenomenal things, but “What Matters Most is What Happens Next.” And I can’t wait to see what our NEXTshall be. It has been my desire to prepare the Baltimore District for NEXT Level Ministry by engaging clergy and laydialogue and discussions across the district in areas of Leadership and Church Growth through our VisionaryMoments with the Elder. I can attest to the fact that we have stepped up our game in the face of somechallenging times. We set out to be intentional about discipleship, and we are doing the required work. Ouraim was to challenge everyone to bring evangelism to the forefront of our ministries and churches are literallytaking the Gospel of Christ to the streets. LEADERSHIP and FISCAL PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT requirecontinued development, which has led to some of our clergy and lay enrolling in school and attendinginstitutes, workshops, and trainings both in Zion and beyond. As we turn our attention to the QuadrennialTheme of our church, we want to Focus on our METHODS.DISCIPLESHIP: What tools and resources are we using that others across the district can glean from? Wewill shift our attention to sharing best practices, realizing that each of us serves in a particular context.EVANGELISM: Are we focusing our resources to help develop some of our smaller churches? What can wedo to promote evangelism? Do we need marketing and branding to take place? Are our websites intuitive?Do we have methods of following up with our visitors and reaching out to our communities? LEADERSHIP: With cultural and social norms continuously shifting, how do we inspire our leaders in thisseason? What tools can the district provide to help nurture and cultivate leaders in our local churches?Perhaps a leadership survey will help us determine where our strengths and deficits are within the district.Providing a quarterly bibliography might be a great way to ignite us, and so it shall be done. Baltimore District, you have supported our Mass Meetings, Laity events, CED convocation and Black HistoryProgram, Home Missions Workshops and Bowl-a-thon, and given evangelistic support where needed. Whatmore could we ask for? I want to take this opportunity to thank each of you for all that you do to support yourlocal churches and this district.

STATE OF THE COUNTRYOn July 21, 2024, Joe Biden, the 46th President of the United States, announced his withdrawal from the upcomingpresidential election and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris as his successor. Harris subsequently secured theDemocratic nomination; however, she ultimately lost the election to former President Donald Trump. This outcomeoccurred despite Trump's conviction of sexual abuse and 34 convictions for falsifying business records. Followingthe general election results, the Republican Party is now in control of the Presidency, the House, and the Senate. On July 1, 2024, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that former President Trump and any sitting president have absoluteimmunity for core presidential actions and presumptive immunity for non-core activities. The Court also ruled thatsignificant Voting Rights Act 1965 provisions were unconstitutional, affecting electoral oversight in many states. Roev. Wade has been overturned, allowing states to ban abortion and threatening healthcare providers withimprisonment and loss of their license for treating patients with miscarriage symptoms and other women'shealthcare issues.On his first day in office, President Trump pardoned over 1500 insurrectionists and signed 75 Executive Ordersrelated to Project 2025, which includes plans to deport undocumented individuals. He is contesting a court rulingon the citizenship of US-born children of immigrant parents. Elon Musk, lacking top-secret clearance, isimplementing drastic federal cuts, leading to over 200,000 job losses to date to support continued tax cuts for thetop 1%. This has raised public concerns about job security, with fears of a potential economic recession, highunemployment, and increased cost of living.President Trump also advised Ukraine’s leadership to cede land and to absolve Russia of the blame for the conflict,suggesting that Ukraine was the aggressor. He supports Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu and wants to claim U.S.control of the Gaza Strip, permanently displacing the Palestinian people from their homeland. Additionally, hementioned the possibility of Canada becoming the 51st state.He argues that annexation could eliminate tradebarriers, enhance resource extraction, and boost North American energy independence. President Trump has alsoexpressed a desire to purchase Greenland, whose untapped rare earth elements could reduce U.S. dependence onChina, which dominates over 80% of the global production of these critical materials.In 2024-to date, there was a total of 617 mass shootings, with a death toll of 751. Of the 617 mass shootings, 84deaths occurred on school grounds. We sing "God Bless America," yet oppression persists as the top 1% controlsabout $41.52 trillion in wealth, while the bottom 50% holds only $2.62 trillion. Many billionaires are now in theTrump administration. We see that it is not enough to be a billionaire; it is also essential to have significant powerover the people. It is time for the Body of Christ to come together, speak truth to power, and stand against thisungodly leash of power. In such a time as this, we need to take a page from the Civil Rights Movement; they movedtheir feet as they prayed.Respectfully Submitted, The State of the Country Committee Rev Carolyn McGeeRev. Dr. Darrell GaskinsRev. Crystal LoweRev. Christian EgeneouRev. Shelley Jones Lyons

STATE OF THE CHURCHIn looking at the church today, many would say that it is currently unhealthy. This statement would bemade based on a significant decline in church membership, attendance and growth. Within the lastcouple of years, regular attendance at church every week has been low, with some who have notattended any service at all. This decline is due to various reasons, of which shifting values, busierschedules, generational changes and lack of engagement play a significant role. For these reasons, many church leaders are taking church wide initiatives to measure what matters. Theyare taking the pulse of ministries, altering the services and implementing changes that will keep peopleinvolved in the church, as opposed to leaving it. Church leaders are ensuring that the Word of God is prevalent and is at the center of the worshipexperience. They are intentionally incorporating traditional and nontraditional components that willspeak to multiple generations within the congregation.Churches are opportunities for the youngergeneration(s) to be engaged--finding ways to not only draw their attention, but also their hearts to God. Through evangelism, efforts are being made to strengthen the church community as well as bring peopleto the pews. Outreach is not solely up to the Pastor; everyone has been commissioned “to go ye thereforeand make disciples of all nations.” The church has been compelled to reach out to the world, and venturebeyond the walls. The church must spend as much time drawing others to Christ and allowing His love togrow and flow beyond the walls of the building, as they do encouraging those within. Overall, there is work to be done, and the church cannot get tired or settle for ineffectiveness. Though thechurch is said to be declining, this state can be turned around. The church must continue to bepassionate about God’s Word, take serious action by way of ministry, and expect the Holy Spirit to movepowerfully when we gather--so much so that others will come, attendance will pick up and the church willgrow.Respectfully Submitted, The State of the Church Committee Rev. Ranesa Mayo Rev. Alanna Thomas Rev. Crystal Harris Rev. Dr. Edgar Bankhead Rev. Lula G. Wiliams Rev. Leslie Barnett Davis
