A fitting tribute to a remarkable ministry. On Sunday, May 31, Reverend Stephen Fields conducted his final service before retirement, marking the conclusion of years of faithful service and leadership.
The service was attended by representatives of the Consulate General of Barbados, including Consul General Anthony Branker, Vice Consul General Kurt Haynes, and Executive Assistant Kelvin Best. During the occasion, Reverend Fields was presented with commemorative framed letters of appreciation from Barbadian dignitaries, including the Prime Minister of Barbados and the High Commissioner of Barbados.
Vice Consul General Kurt Haynes made the presentation, accompanied by Consul General Anthony Branker, who delivered remarks recognizing Reverend Fields’ outstanding contributions to the church and community.
The heartfelt ceremony celebrated a legacy of faith, dedication, and service, as family, friends, and well-wishers gathered to honor Reverend Fields and wish him God’s continued blessings in retirement.

We are stronger together
