Historical Commission Recognizes Early Church Leader
The Church of God Historical Commission wishes to observe that 120 years ago in June 1903, Ambrose Jessup Tomlinson, united with the Church of God through membership in the Holiness Church at Camp Creek, North Carolina, subsequently becoming pastor of that congregation.
A.J. Tomlinson
By virtue of his office as pastor of the host church, Tomlinson moderated the first General Assembly on January 26-27, 1906, comprised of twenty-one delegates from three churches in Tennessee, one in Georgia, and the host church in North Carolina. That same year, he established North Cleveland Church of God, now considered the Mother Church of our movement. On January 9, 1909, at the age of 43, Tomlinson was chosen as general moderator (later renamed general overseer), where he served until 1923.
It was under the leadership of A. J. Tomlinson that the influence of the Church was taken outside its secluded Appalachian origins; the name was changed from The Holiness Church to Church of God; the Church of God Evangel, Lee University, and the Smoky Mountain Children’s Home were birthed; and the Church was established outside the United States. It is difficult to overstate the influence of Tomlinson on the earliest days of the Church of God and the Pentecostal Movement.
In commemorating this anniversary, we give thanks to God for the leadership and influence of our early Church of God leaders, and we pray God’s continued favor on our current leadership as well as that of the Church of God of Prophecy, over which Tomlinson also served as general overseer (1923-1943).
Her Price is Far Above Rubies
Ann High was humble and very quiet. She loved to stay in her pretty home Bolt st. day and night. Ann talked of growing up and how her parents were so sweet. She was so close to Lucy and her family and Ann’s every need Lucy would meet. Ann enjoyed working at Forest Hills High School and was faithful every day. But when the time came she retired and would be happy with Elden and Hercules (her bird) to stay. The couple years have been different since Elden has been gone. But she leaned heavily on her God and she was never alone. Ann loved the Wadesboro Church of God and all her many friends. She looked forward to being with them every Sunday till sickness would cause this to end. Ann knows no more sickness – no more sorrow – These former things have passed away. Her price is far above Rubies and we celebrate her life today. Put to pin by Sis. Linda Huffman.
A Song of Praise
Here I stand a mortal man, to God above I lift my hand. He fills it with His great love, and gives me blessings from above. He hears me when I call his name, though I am weak, He loves me just the same. He gives me all I need to live for him each day, and He always hears me when I pray. There is none so kind and true, and when this life down here is through. He has a home built for me, There I will be forever free. If you would like to go there too! Just lift your hands to God above and be True.

Movement Calls Seniors to Find ‘God-Given Purpose’ in Retirement
More Americans over the age of 50 are facing loneliness and lack of purpose in their retirement years, according to a national faith-based movement that aims to turn things around.
Love or let Die
The life of the Church is our obedience to Jesus Christ. In that we MUST fulfill the Great Commission, to spread the Gospel to all the world. Wadesboro and Anson county and anywhere and to anyone we can show the light of Christ. But We Must remember that Love, for each other and the Love for those around us is the Only way that our Church lives. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not Love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. In love is life. Therefore without love we are dead.
