Introduction
Welcome to our first Regional monthly newsletter called Unity, the name we chose from our theme.
Please note that Bishop Tim Smith is on an indefinite sabbatical. During this time Pastor Errol Williams is the Regional Overseer, Pastor Gloria McGowan is the Assistant Overseer and Sister Jacqui Ferguson is the Administrator.
Our desire is for everyone in the region to dwell together in unity. We will continually seek Jehovah, serve you faithfully and will never forget how important you are to us!
