The history of beta but quickly learned that it was not represented on the University of California Davis Campus that they attended after much research letter writing and Outreach these ladies were able to get Zeta Zetas at Cal State Hayward to pledge them into Zeta sority in May of
1980 making them the first ever line of Zetas on the UC Davis Campus I am proud to say that I was one of those eight young ladies inde [Applause] your are there any representatives from five Beta Sigma Delta Sigma Theta we know sister uh Pratt is not feeling well or she would
Have been here anybody from Omega sci-fi Kappa alpas si do you have a representative presid yes sir good morning M good morning visitors how are you how many of you had the pleasure of being with us last night short hands yes sir we not have a good time we had a good
Time goodine N I represent the brothers of Kappa alide Fraternity in corporated yo yo also known as fing pie but before we were Kaa alasi or five new p in 1903 we were Kaa Alpha new but at the University of Indiana which is still to this day a
Stronghold for the right wing there were undergraduates 10 of them that came together and formed a social group at the time 1906 the AL were the first to be incorporated but we had to take a back step because we were athletes on campus even to back then we were the athletes
On campus and during one of the track meets some of the right Wingers yelled out cap alha so immediately the brothers had to come together have a meeting and said we we won’t go on with the name Capa Alpha new so we had to change and then finally
In 1911 we incorporated under the name that you know now capy attorney Incorporated so the struggle is not new it’s real and more so than ever we need Divine n in this room to come together whether it be the national pantic meetings whether it be one onone phone calls across
Fraternities I send a shout out to the brothers of Omega scii yes the brothers of f bet Sigma that are not here and also uh Iota and the ladies of Delta Sigma Theta working together we get a lot done that you’ll never know about and you’ll never see sister Sharon
Mentioned that she and her fraternity her sorority were the first to start the youth groups we have going on and each one of us has a mentoring group come on that we take young people in the community which is more important now than ever we are lost people right now

Sure that a child has the opportunity to make it to the next level because the way you get into these groups that are Pres today these fraternities and sororities is first you have to get out of high school on come on after you get
Out of high school you have to go to a college yes sir this we’re we’re stressing what web the boys talked about we are stressing education Booker ton education Dr C wson education education has always been and will always be the key to our community

Have alumni chapter those who have left college and some people don’t have an opportunity to pledge because their school did not have the organization or the chapter so they seek it still they give that shows me that they still have heart for it okay some were too busy in their studies which is
Commendable so they put all their times in their studies and they didn’t have time to join because we do do a lot of kicking it on campus y’all we do a lot of parties and stuff yes that’s true but some people make the choice because
They’re so serious I can’t do it now but once you are an adult and you have your degree same process speak to one research you’ll get invited to an interest meeting and then they’ll Usher you into the alumni because to tell the truth the alumni those who pledge alumni

Don’t throw them away with when when you just want to throw your hands up and walk away throw your hands up and give God glory and praise and never give up on them huah amen somebody and I say that because I remember when my father
Died and I was at the mortuary and we were taking care of the business for my daddy uh the mortician Sammy Sims handed me an envelope and in the envelope it was a insurance with my name on I’m like what what you doing with an insurance policy with my name on and he
Said your father took this out on you some time ago amen amen and when I went home when I went to my aunt’s house and I asked my Aunt Janette some of you have heard the story but it’s part of my testimony and I tell her whenever I can um uh my Aunt
Janette said I asked I said said Ang did you know about this she said yeah boy I knew about that she said the way you were cutting up we need to have make sure we have some money to bury you cuz we we didn’t know
You know what I’m trying to say and and and this is just the truth amen somebody but but if I make it to September the 14th I’ll be 59 years old amen I I I’ve never never spent I’ve never woken up in a jail Center never once amen somebody
So I’m here to tell you those ones that are cutting up yeah uhuh that don’t give up on them on Amen don’t don’t don’t give up on them those are your family members love them nurture them tolerate them have patience with them correct them help them in any way shape or form
Yes help them one of my favorite scriptures is John 13:34-35 where Jesus says today I give to you a new command that you love one another yes yes amen just as I have loved you you are to love one another by the love that you display toward one another
That is the way that the world will know that you are my disciples yes not by anything else not by the car you drive not by the degree that you hold not by the clothes that you wear not by how much money you make but by the love that
You show toward one another that’s the way the people will know we are one family and that’s where we find ourselves in this spot like scripture you remember back um Moses had sent spies over into Jericho yeah he sent spies on the other side of the river and
When they came back only two of the spies were willing to engage whoever was over there whatever they had all right those two spies were Joshua and Caleb they were the only ones that were not afraid amen somebody amen that right there is a point keep some people around you that ain’t [Applause]
Afraid amen somebody keep some people around you that aren’t afraid that they weren’t afraid but but if if they had went when God told them to go they would have crossed the river sooner yeah however they were afraid and the scary folk went out but now God is saying look I’m still
Going to move you across the river they sent some spies they sent some Recon they sent some they they sent some uh they sent some Navy Seals they sent some people over there to investigate the land go find out go go see what their strengths
Are let’s see what we’re going to do cuz we’re going to attack and we’re going to take this land now I always find it a little weird how did they just happen to find Rab’s house well I’m just let this how did they find
Ra how’ y’all know to go to ra how’ you know you would have Sanctuary at Rous the heart of Jericho how did you know they learn to teach how did you know youd have sa the Arab’s house but they did yes yes but they did amen but see this is the thing
I I tell people all the time when you think you creeping somebody see you all right all right every time when you think you real undercover somebody see you uhhuh when you think you slick somebody’s slicker than you true when you think you got it all together
Somebody will tell you you got it all together wrong that’s just the truth because somebody saw these professional spies going to this lady’s house somebody saw them and she told them to go and hide on the roof because the king sent people to her house to
Find out who are those folks and why are they here what are they up to M I I don’t I don’t know I don’t know that they were here but they gone uh they I don’t know he now why would she say that because she went on to say we
Heard about what your God has done we heard how God made a way through the water for you to go across on dry land and all Pharaoh soldiers died you heard what you did God did to the opposing Kings on your behalf see tell your story yeah so somebody can hear
About the goodness of God and what God has done in your life tell your story how God has brought you and how God has nurtured you and how God has kept you let the people hear it let the people hear about the goodness of God and how
God has moved moved you see it’s something to listen to a himm and it’s something else to live a him when you really know that the Lord will make a way somehow when you really know like a bridge over trouble water when you really know I know the Lord will make a
Way then is different it takes on a different meaning and you’re not afraid to tell it you’ll tell it any and everywhere you go the word had gone out they didn’t have Twitter they didn’t have Tik Tok they didn’t have Facebook they didn’t have they didn’t have none
Of that but guess what the word went out so when the word goes out about you what is the word saying what is it saying come on come on what is it saying the greatest Evangelistic tool that you possess is how you live your life come on Amen somebody you have to
Exemplify what it is that you say you believe in otherwise you’re throwing dirt on the ones that before that’s they heard about she was talking to um she sent the Spy she sent the men from the king in another Direction and she was talking to the spies and she she said we heard
About what’s happening uh but but but please spare us one of the men said okay we’ll spare you however their conditions yeah I tell people all the time God’s love is free and it’s unconditional but there are conditions on blessings all right all right all right amen somebody there are conditions
Attached to Blessings Now I’m going to love you but if you want me to lace you up in some stuff you got to do it all right right you got to worst of all you got to keep your word right word is bond and bond is life and give your life
Before your word fails a lot of people word ain’t worth nothing on you know I’m from Arkansas way down in the southern part of the states uhuh I’m from a very uh um agricultural background I remember seeing my uncle and my father and people make huge deals on a handshake and it’s
Not no paper because they kept their word nowadays people word don’t mean nothing keep your word do what you say because keeping your word can be so crucial cral and what it is that you do in life people have to be able to trust
What you say can I get a witness up in here absolutely keep your word and the man said keep your word if you don’t tell them what we doing they going to be safe and he also said make sure that when we come through the city that they all in the
House cuz when we come through the city we ain’t coming to talk amen all the talk it is over all the negotiations and trying to talk about it is all over when Barack Obama when President Obama sent in Seal Team Six they didn’t go to talk oh no no all the
Talking is over we done all the talking and all the negotiating and somewhere in the Bible said there’s a time for war did I talk is long all of will talk I negotiated with you all I’m going to negotiate with you now I got to do something amen somebody and when we get
To the point it doesn’t necessarily have to be a physical confrontation but let it happen in the spiritual realm amen pray and give God glory that God moves in a spiritual way that can take care of those things that have been ping and bothering you now it’s time to do
Something now it’s time for something to really take place make sure they’re in the house you know it’s a funny thing about the funny thing the ark was made out of gopher wood which is ugly it’s not real pretty wood it’s not like black walnut or African purple
Heart or that real uh good Red Oak it’s not pretty wood it’s ugly but it’s real strong and it’s very buoyant all right uh-huh and the Ark was built out of gopher wood and according to scripture the ark was filled with animals so you got a ugly boat fill with
Animals uh-huh so you know the smell wasn’t good there’s no way for the smell to be good so you got a ugly boat filled with animals and it’s it’s stain but the only way for you to survive was to have been in that ugly boat ugly sanking boat
With them anals otherwise you weren’t going to survive can I get a witness up in here you see some church buildings aren’t all palatial I I you see where I’m going with this right some of the buildings aren’t all palatial and sometime the people have stinking attitudes just like the stink that was
On the ark amen am I telling the truth that’s the real thing but guess what if you want to survive you got to be inside I’m trying to tell you you still got to be inside yes there’s some stuff in there that’s not right why cuz you
Ain’t all right the church is a microcosm of the macrocosm what happens outside guess what it will happen inside anybody body in here if you ain’t got no skeletons in your closet raise your L hand not one hand with them cuz we all got stuff none of us are perfect none of us
Are clean on our best days with filthy rags that need to be washed in the blood of the lamb every day so you got to be inside that’s why one of the spies was telling them RAB make sure they’re in the house come on make sure they’re in the
House cuz when we come through we ain’t asking no questions remember when the death angel came through wasn’t asking no questions if the Mark wasn’t on the door that’s it wasn’t asking no questions okay they went around and they marched they blew the trumpets and the
Walls came down and Joshua and the crew sat they sacked Jericho but Rahab house and her family survived and because of Rahab keeping her word yeah they survived and Rahab had a son yes sir his name was Boaz my all right all right wow and had Rahab not had had kept her word
She would not have had that son named Boaz and Boaz married Woman by the name of Ruth come on yes amen somebody amen and we all know the story of Ruth uhhuh and how Ruth followed and and and Ora didn’t amen somebody we all know that
Part and and Ruth had a son named OED all right right uhhuh and OED had a son named Jessie come on and Jesse was The Shepherd of Bethlehem come on and Jesse had a whole bunch of sons but there was one son in particular that was very instrumental and very handsome
And this son was the one that tended to the flock and this son was overlooked while the other brothers were paraded in front of the one that because they thought that they were going to be the next king that son was named David yeah come on if RAB if had not kept her
Word there would have been no marriage to Boaz there would have been no son named o there wouldn’t have been D there wouldn’t have been Jesse there wouldn’t have been David it’s a family affair a family it’s a family affair and I don’t care where you go in your lineage you
Going to find some bers but they still your family amen amen somebody remember remember when Judah thought he was just going to do a little something and get away with a little something y’all know that story um Judah Judah thought he was going to kind of get away with you know
And then come up the girl girl got pregnant and he talking about put her away she this that and the other and then she broke out Judah stuff and said the man who owns this stuff is the father of my baby and come on now let’s tell the truth I’m just
Telling you what it is that’s what the Bible says all of us got stuff amen somebody but God can bless any and all of it guess what because we’re family all of us ain’t always done everything right but we’re still family if you started in 1906 or you started in
1963 guess what we’re all family and we come together for a common Bond to make Humanity better we’re family we’re family yeah we are family it’s a family affair huh yeah when the family feuds everybody loses on y’all know Jas said that amen somebody everybody loses when the family
Feuds in times of trouble what does family do circle the wagons M and we come together we’re in a stressful time throughout this country we need to circle the wagons around our children we need to circle the ra wagons around different issues I don’t care what colors you wearing amen
Amen circle the wagons yes work with somebody love on somebody support somebody do something for something other than yourself cuz there are Generations that aren’t born there were Generations counting on ra to do what she supposed to do yes they and we’re bless because of it today

Fa but we need to make sure um Billy Holiday said it best your mama may have your papa may have but God bless a child that’s got his own we want to make sure that you have your own relationship with Jesus Christ that that is that is the reason
Why we exist as a church is the facilitation of Salvation everything that we do is supposed to be geared toward the Salvation moment every song every sermon from the ushers coming in to being greeted at the door to any sort of Fellowship moments that we have those moments are geared toward
Us getting to know Jesus Christ for ourselves so I want to make three appeals if you don’t know Christ on your own for yourself not the Christ that your mama know but the Christ that you know cuz you got to know Christ for yourself that’s an opportunity for you
To come forward if you want to rededicate your life you know the reality is sometime our batteries run low and we need to plug back in but the amazing thing when your phone says you on 2% and the screen is going down as soon as you plug it in the screen
Brightens up again so you want to rededicate your life and also if you do not have a Church on there’s an opportunity for you to join Murphy manual there are other churches represented here if this isn’t where it is you need to be or you want to be we
Will find someplace for you to go but we just want to make sure that you have a covering in the place that we call church so three appeals know Jesus for yourself rededicate your life and do you have a church home is there one is there one is there one is there
One come on let’s give God some praise come on let’s give God some Glory it’s a family affair baby We All in This Together We Are All in This Together amen we want to make sure that all of the D9 organizations that are together we want to get together and
Take one big picture with everybody and and the different ORS you know we want to group up and get those as well but we want to make sure that we get one big picture I’m a Believer in outside that seem like you know the natural light
Always seems to have a better picture so after we Fellowship quickly if we can gather outside and take that picture that would be a great thing amen amen praise God from whom all blessing Slow prise God praise him praise him praise Him PR it’s a family affair and now him was able to keep you from falling I present you fathers before the presence of Glory with joy to the only wise God our savior be glory your majesty dominion and power
