THE NEW BEGINNINGS UNITED FELLOPWSHIP CHURCH FAMILY, desires to express our compassion and our love individually and collectively to the family and friends of our sister Sheila Simmons. Sister Simmons was a faithful member of New Beginnings during her time in Elizabeth City, NC along with her husband who served as our Assistant Pastor. Lady Simmons filled our church doors with Love like no other. Her smile would light up the room, her spirit would lift you up, her positive presence would bring so much joy to all. She worked endlessly in the church and community. Her faithful dedication assisted us in opening the city's 1st Homeless shelter, alongside her husband they also found and managed our Church's first Prison ministry. She worked for Christ each and every day looking for nothing in return but to help someone get closer to GOD. Our Hearts will be forever broken knowing you no longer here however, we know that your spirit will always be near. 'Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; he has now put you in charge of many things. Go and share your master's happiness!" To the Loving Family, our prayers and support are with you. Love Always Humbly submitted, Pastor Tony T. Rice Sr. and the NEW BEGINNINGS UNITED FLLOWSHIP CHURCH Family.
