Some people seek advice and healing from a therapist, psychiatrist, or family members. Some may go to a gym, shop, or the movies to escape reality or deal with their problems. Some attend Sunday School for growth and encouragement. Whatever one needs for strength and healing, Sunday School is often recommended as a form of group therapy.

Pastor John Wesley McVicker, Sr.. Remembers
“Before I share these few words with you, I want to thank these Pastors who made a shift in their schedule, this is Sunday morning. Thank you so much. We’ve known each other for 40, 30, 25, 15 years. Most of us were not preachers when our paths first crossed, but God so ordained it that He would use us as preachers and pastors, and our friendship has sustained all these years.”
There are a number of CTK members who relocated to other cities and returned to sit in a pew, sang in the choir, spoke on camera, or in front of the congregation.
“We had a grand time on Friday night. It was an amazing event celebrating 40 years of this ministry. Those who worked and attended. We had a sold-out banquet and a waiting list to come to the Gala that is beyond words.”
Pastor McVicker acknowledged his family, children, and grandchildren, who are from out of town. His son, John Wesley McVicker, Jr., performed on the drums at four years old. “He stood up and leaned back on the seat, but he could keep time. He played in grade school, middle school, and high school. His job was being the drummer for all the choirs.”
Let me begin by thanking Marilynn for making tremendous sacrifices as my partner in ministry.

Consumers, businesses, and community spaces in Milwaukee have been hit hard by basement and property flooding. Some faced dangerous situations, such as being trapped in vehicles. In response, support is available, including emergency financial aid, shelter assistance, and local recovery programs to help people recover and rebuild.
On Good Friday, July 18, 2025, at 6:00 p.m., members of Christ The King Baptist Church and supportive clergy from across the city and state joyfully gathered at Discovery World to honor two extraordinary milestones: the church’s 40th Founders’ Celebration and the well-deserved retirement of Pastor John Wesley McVicker, Sr. The evening radiated with uplifting music, shared meals, and powerful speeches, all centering on a jubilant celebration of Pastor McVicker’s enduring, positive impact on Milwaukee, CTK, and the wider community.
In spirited anticipation of this milestone, CTK members united in a generous outpouring of support and heartfelt appreciation before Pastor McVicker’s cheerful retirement and the joyful installation of Executive Pastor Treyvon Sinclair, Sr. Members who were able gave $1,000 each to help clear the church’s mortgage, demonstrating the event’s spirit of communal generosity and legacy. This spirit permeated all aspects of the celebration.
Souvenir Booklet Ads
To honor this occasion, parishioners, clergy, and businesses contributed souvenir ads celebrating Pastor McVicker, Sr., and First Lady Marilynn. Ad messages reflected gratitude and appreciation, reinforcing the event’s central themes of leadership and legacy. The souvenir book thus became a significant tribute to both the church and its leadership.
Once a buyer sent an email with all required information and payment to Chairperson Vivian King or a committee member, a binding contract was created. Upon acceptance of the ad offer and receipt of payment, the ad was included in the souvenir book. Each member was responsible for purchasing their own ad, regardless of employment status, and no complimentary ads were provided. Furthermore, if any changes to the ad or contract were made by the committee without the buyer’s written consent, the agreement would be considered void.
The Anniversary Committee did not notify buyers about issues or missing materials with their ads, as all necessary items had already been included in the original submission emails. Thus, the confirmed contract and payment ensured the souvenir book accurately reflected the McVicker Family’s positive legacy.
Here is an example to view:
Commentary Note:
Anniversary Committees should note that if an ad contract is not properly negotiated and confirmed by both the buyer and the seller, any party—including the local church and its Anniversary Committee Members—may be held liable for breach of contract, fraud, or negligence. Once both parties have signed the contract and payment has been made, the agreement becomes legally binding. Additionally, any uncorrected errors in the ad could void the agreement due to breach of contract.
A diverse array of ads filled the souvenir book, unified by admiration for Pastor John Wesley McVicker, Sr., and First Lady Marilynn. In turn, their Retirement Celebration gathered the community, highlighting the far-reaching influence Pastor McVicker had throughout his service, a true reflection of the event’s significance.
A wide array of esteemed clergy and churches from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and across the nation contributed ads to the souvenir book, each honoring Pastor and First Lady McVicker’s legacy and reflecting the deep bonds within the faith community.
Welcoming
As guests joyfully enjoyed their meals, an atmosphere of celebration filled the room with uplifting melodies and heartfelt congratulations for Pastor McVicker’s retirement, further strengthening the focus on honoring his cherished ministry and the church’s remarkable milestone.

When people are happy to see each other, introverts may greet you with a friendly smile, while extraverts might shake hands, give high-fives, hug multiple times, or even offer a friendly kiss on the cheek to express their love, friendship, and appreciation. These types of affirmations are considered expressions of Agape Love (unconditional love) and Philia Love (friendship).
Another type of love that Plies World depicts in his video with Jamie Foxx and The-Dream is Eros, which represents the love between a husband and wife or a boyfriend and girlfriend. This love is more than friendship; it encompasses romantic feelings.
Please Excuse My Hands (Video) (Feat. Jamie Foxx & The-Dream)
If someone is giving you a ride home and they are not the “love of your life,” and their hands start to touch your leg, you can assertively say, “This leg does not need a massage!” If their hands touch your shoulder, tell them, “Don’t touch me,” inquire about their wife, and they should stop immediately. This way, you can arrive at your destination safely.
However, if the unwanted touches persist and lead to a dangerous situation, it’s essential to remember a lesson from the show Medium. In one episode, Allison warned a young teenager seven years before her abduction, rape, and murder:
“He looked a little older, but he seemed harmless at first when you were bending over to tie your shoe. When he offers you a ride, refuse it, and if he won’t listen, FIGHT LIKE HELL.”
Ladies and gentlemen, it’s crucial to know how to defend yourself. In case of an emergency, if you can’t access your mace, learn self-defense techniques. Consider enrolling in a karate or judo class to equip yourself with the skills needed to protect yourself from imminent danger.
