Today, the Redeeming Grace Evangelistic Church of God in Christ family pauses to honor and celebrate the life of our dearly departed Mother Shirley Bufkin—a faithful mother, evangelist, and servant of the Lord.

Mother Bufkin’s homegoing service will be held this morning at:

Redeeming Grace Evangelistic Church of God in Christ
11801 South Sangamon Street
Chicago, Illinois 60643

Viewing: 10:00 a.m.
Homegoing Service: 11:00 a.m.

As we funeralize Mother Bufkin today, we ask that you continue to keep her family, loved ones, and our entire church family uplifted in prayer. Her loving spirit, faithful service, and dedication to the work of the Lord will never be forgotten.

Though our hearts are saddened, we thank God for the life she lived and the legacy she leaves behind. Mother Shirley Bufkin has gone from labor to reward, and she will be truly missed.
