Ware and Kanisha Henderson. Jerry was employed by Stauffer Chemical, Newburgh,

life to the Lord. He wore many hats in the church as a Deacon, Usher Board
member, Chairman of the Trustee Board, Hospitality, Pastor's Armor Bearer,
Sunday School Superintendent, and a host of other tasks. The Mid-Hudson Bible
