New Pastor At First SDA Church Treats Community To Ice Cream

/0 Comments/in /by

Dewaine Frazer just celebrated his first year anniversary as pastor of the First Seventh-day Adventist
Church of Montclair, and one of the hallmarks of his ministry is his willingness to embrace “out of the
box” ideas to witness to the community. The energetic and personable Pastor Frazer brought one such
idea to the church body, and on July 28 his “Ice Cream Outreach” vision became a reality.

Neighborhood kids and their guardians, along with “curious”
passersby and church members, lined up in droves to select their
free ice cream treat of choice from the inviting images on the
Ice Cream truck’s menu. Many agreed that this was a great way
to cool down on a summer afternoon in July!
(Coincidentally, National Ice Cream Month is celebrated each
year in July & National Ice Cream Day is celebrated on the
third Sunday in July – since 1984).
This event was just one of the many community programs that Pastor Frazer has been involved with during his very busy first year at First SDA Church. The church’s newly met neighbors were subsequently invited to the upcoming “Journey to Joy” series, which kicks off on Wed., Aug 22nd and runs thru Sep 1st. The featured presenter is Dr. Emil D. Peeler, an international speaker, pastor and motivational therapist. This 8-day conference convenes nightly at 7pm and Saturdays at 11:30am & 5pm. All are invited to this uplifting series. Join us for powerful preaching, awesome music & activities for children. Admission is free! Visit www.montclairsda.org for details.

A Church is Born

The history of First Seventh-day Adventist Church of Montclair is an exhilarating experience of events that bear witness to God’s leading power.
Many years ago an Adventist Minister, Pastor Marion Campbell, was on his way to visit one of his members. As he got out of his car he saw a gentleman passing by. Greeting the stranger, he introduced himself, handed the man a piece of literature, and told him he hoped to see him again. That gentleman was Mansfield Wilson.

Find out what happened.  The full story is in “Our History”.

A Moment In Time

Do you know the name of the oldest Historically Black College & University
(HBCU)…keep reading ?

Historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) are institutions of higher education established with the purpose of providing training and education to African-Americans.

When the Institute for Colored Youth was established in 1837, its purpose was to teach African-Americans skills necessary to be competitive in the 19th Century job market. Students learned to read, write, basic math skills, mechanics and agriculture.

In later years, the Institute for Colored Youth was a training ground for educators.

Other institutions followed with the mission of training freed African~American men and women.

It is important to note that several religious institutions such as the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME), United Church of Christ, Presbyterian and American Baptist provided funding to establish many schools.

1837: Cheyney University of Pennsylvania opens its doors. Established by Quaker Richard Humphreys as the “Institute for Colored Youth”,  Cheyney University is the oldest historically black school of higher education.  Famous alumni includes educator and civil rights activist Josephine Silone Yates.
