 Dear Wayman Nation Family,
The holy season culminates this week with Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Resurrection Sunday. During this week, we remember the last supper of Jesus and His disciples, the suffering and death of Jesus on the cross, and, more importantly, the resurrection on the third day when He got up from the tomb. Glory be to God!
This Easter, we celebrate these facts: only One stepped from the tomb. Only One has risen from the dead. Only One has conquered death. Only One offers the promise of eternal life to those who follow Him. Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life," Jesus said. "He who believes in me will live, even though he dies, and whoever lives and believes in me will never die." MORE |
 Bishop T. Larry Kirkland to Preach Resurrection Sunday Service
Bishop T. Larry Kirkland will be the Resurrection Sunday preacher at Wayman. Elected and consecrated the one hundred and fourteenth Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in 1996, Bishop Kirkland is presently the presiding prelate of the Ninth Episcopal District (Alabama).
As bishop, he has been assigned to the Seventeenth Episcopal District encompassing the countries of Zaire, Zambia, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Malawi and Zimbabwe. At the General Conference in the year 2000, Bishop Kirkland was assigned to serve as the Ecumenical Officer for the African Methodist Episcopal Church until 2004. In 2001, he served as the President of the Council of Bishops and in 2002 was assigned to serve the Ninth Episcopal District (Alabama), his home state. This gave him the distinct pleasure of serving two offices at once. MORE
