Prayer of Invocation/Confession
Holy and All-Loving God, we praise You this hour. We worship You with grateful hearts. Please meet us here. In Christ Jesus, You have given to us the bread and water of life. You have given to us living nourishment for our bodies, souls and spirits. We love You and we adore You. You are the God of wonders. So we offer thanksgiving to You for granting us the grace of Jesus Christ. How great is Your love for us. Forgive us for looking beyond You for comfort and security, because all we have found was misery. Help us to follow Jesus our Savior and Redeemer. Teach us to love and worship. Teach us to live and to exalt the Name of Jesus. Amen.
OFFERTORY PRAYER
Our Heavenly Father, we come to You this day, with grateful hearts. For Your continuing Presence, we thank You and we come to You. We want to know Your will and we want to do Your will. Please accept our tithes, mission gifts and sacrificial offerings. We are praying Your blessings on all that we bring today. Help us to give, as You have given. By our faithful stewardship of life, please make us worthy children of the King. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
"For if the willingness is there, the gift is acceptable according to what one has, not according to what one does not have." 2 Corinthians 8:12

Did you know that the touch of the hand of the Lord Jesus Christ is a healing touch? The hands of Jesus can heal your heart, heal your mind, heal your soul and heal your hurts. Whatever it is, let Jesus touch you. Jesus loves you and Jesus wants to help. Jesus wants to take you in His arms, love you, bless you, change you and make you a new person. Jesus wants to give you hope and meaning in life, if you let Him.

A Brief History of New Prospect Missionary Baptist Church
In 1924 a few officers and members of Mount Beulah, banded together and organized a church which they named Mount Lebanon Baptist Church. Two ministers worked together in the organization of the church. This small faithful group of people purchased a lot at 20470 Wisconsin in Detroit. More people moved into the area, joined Mount Lebanon Baptist Church and the name was changed to First Baptist Church.
Reverend Smith served as Pastor until 1929. Reverend Theodore Williams served from 1931 until 1935. The church called Reverend Pyles who served about three years and rebuilt First Baptist. He was unable to finish rebuilding the church because God called him from labor to reward. Reverend Sandy Gibson, who was the assistant to Reverend Pyles, carried out his term and was elected for a short period in 1939.
Reverend Charles B. Heath was called as pastor in the spring of 1939. Much was accomplished under Reverend Heath’s administration. Due to the fact that there were two churches in Detroit with the same name, Reverend Heath had the church change its name from First Baptist to New Prospect Baptist Church on January 7, 1945.
In 1953 the church voted to enlarge their present building. The members were supportive of this effort and contributed considerably. In March 1960, the members borrowed ten thousand dollars and made the down payment to purchase the 6330 Pembroke building. Reverend Heath pastored the church for twenty eight (28) years until his death in 1967.
In February 1968, the church called Reverend Dr. S. Leon Whitney from Jackson, Mississippi. Under his pastoral leadership an addition to the Pembroke Property was made and the facilities were expanded to its current structure. There was much growth under Reverend Whitney until his death in December 1990. His son, Reverend Dr. Keith L. Whitney assumed the pastoral leadership from 1991 until 1996. Reverend Randolph F. Henlon who was the Assistant Pastor at the time served as Interim Pastor from 1996 until March 1999.
On March 1, 1999, history was made in Detroit. Reverend Wilma Robena Johnson, a female assistant pastor at Hartford Memorial Baptist Church, was elected Senior Pastor of New Prospect Missionary Baptist Church. A new light appeared in the community.
This is the church where the spirit of unity abides.
this is the church where the vision lives and shines!
