Well, I just found out today that Deacon Cannon died. I am saddened to learn of this and to learn of it days after the fact. Nevertheless, I celebrate his years of service to the Lord, church, and the New Bern Eastern Missionary Baptist Association. He was a man of wisdom and encouragement. He believed in holiness and he was among those who believed in my message and approach in the delivery of the Word.(Or at least he led me to believe so. Lol!) Ive never spoken about my transition from St. Anna to my own church Spirit & Truth Cathedral of Fresh Fire until now almost two years later. I havent because when it is time to move, its time to move. Just like Elisha saved his kisses when he followed Elijah, even so did I save the kisses when I followed after the Spirit of God lest I got entangled with human relations and not moved at all. My abrupt departure was no disrespect to you. You gave me nothing but love and I gave you the same in return. St. Anna was more than a place to church for me. I deeply loved/love the people. You became family to me during a time of great transition. I was wounded severly before I came to you and was on the brink of quitting church altogether, but God healed me and gave me the confirmation that I needed through you. I grew into my calling with you. You saw me come from a boy to a man in the Spirit. I did my job and I did it well within the parameters set before me. I preached THE WORD! I demonstrated HIS POWER with a HEART FILLED WITH LOVE AND CONCERN! Who can deny this? Part of loving people is letting them go. I had and have a work to do and I would have created a mess remaining put when God said, Move NOW lest you die with the call in your belly. I say all of that to say just because you (St. Anna-home and scattered) are out of my sight, know that you are not out of mind. There are times that I dream of you and I pray earnestly for you. I love you and there aint nothing any of you can do about it. My eight years of service to and fellowship with you was real. Nothing or nobody can taint this truth. I love you all! Spread the word. Stay in touch, Pastor Cederick L. Moore
