Delivering the homily, Pastor Everett Brown reminded the leaders that "God calls us to be His servants". Citing Jesus' admonition to the disciples in Mark 10 and Rehoboam's disregard for good counsel in 1 Kings 12, Brown exhorted the leadership of the North that "You are being called today to be servant-leaders, to serve God and to serve His people."
