30th Pearl Anniversary Awards Banquet “A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent. -Douglas McArthur HOUSTON - For over 35-years, Roy Douglas and Shirley Ann Malonson have tirelesslly served countless of lives throughout the state of Texas amd around the country. From community service, business entrepreneurs to philanthropists, they are anchors to the Acres Home community. Known for making things right, their entire life has been dedicated towards helping others. Never needing recognition or glamour for doing what is right, but are well known for not walking away from an injustice or community need. Mentors and advisors to the many that have come through their doors, their lifelong creed rests in the following. “If we have helped someone along the way, then we know our living will not be in vain.”
Roy Douglas & Shirley Ann Malonson are being honored for dedicating over three decades of service to the community.

RELIGION
61st Session: Annual Ministers’ Conference
Johnson-Phillip All Faiths Chapel was built and dedicated in February, 1986 by Rev. W. Van Johnson. PRAIRIE VIEW - Johnson-Phillip All Faiths Chapel at Prairie View A&M University is hosting their 61st Session of the Annual Ministers’ Conference on February 5-6. For six decades, Bishops, Pastors, Elders, Ministers, Christians and Friends from the state of Texas and beyond have come both far and near to convene on these two days to be empowered and enlightened on theological insights and ecumenical fellowship. The theme for this year’s conference is, “Effective Strategies for Preaching, Teaching & Reaching in these Changing Times.� The conference chairs are Reverend Brenda Payne, Presiding Elder, South Houston District Texas Annual Conference African Methodist Episcopal Church and Co-Chair, Reverend Sean J. Nickelberry, Pastor, Wolridge African Methodist Episcopal Church, of Houston. Charles H. Lewter, IV who presently serves as the third dean of the chapel will be celebrating 25-years of service at Prairie View A&M University. Lewter’s vision for the Chapel has always been to create an atmosphere and ministry of inclusivity and diversity among students, faculty and staff. He believes, “the opportunity to pour spiritual knowledge into
young people’s lives’ is worthy of the cause in making a difference as they become productive people in a global society.� The chapel’s motto “Empowering Students through Faith, Education and Service� sets the trajectory for students to look beyond themselves and contribute in making a difference for a better humanity and peaceful society. We must remember that there is still work to be done to breakdown barriers of sexism, classism, racism for purposeful ministry to be experienced. For more information about the conference call (936) 2613592 or visit http://www.pvamu. edu/chapel/ministers-conference/.

While serving as dean of the chapel, Reverend Phillip taught classes in the areas of Philosophy and Negro History. Reverend Phillip retired from Prairie View A&M University in 1969. He was known as a prolific orator. Under his leadership students, faculty and staff were inspired and encouraged to be the best in their field of discipline. He encouraged people to achieve beyond their potential.
