🙏🏾 LET US BE IN PRAYER TODAY 🙏🏾

Today, we ask that you join us in prayer for the Cohen family as they celebrate the life and legacy of Deaconess Emily Cohen Crum, and for the Blackmon family as they celebrate the life of their precious baby girl, Jirah Veronica Denise Blackmon. Both homegoing services will take place today.

Two families. Two difficult goodbyes. But one God who is able to comfort, strengthen, and keep. 🕊️

May God wrap His loving arms around both families today and in the days to come.

Let us cover them in prayer. 🙏🏾🤍

🌊 “Just Keep Swimming” 🌊

The future of our church isn’t tomorrow, it’s sitting in our pews today.

That’s why our Presider, Sister Adonica W. Lewis, is encouraging every parent to bring their children to the North Florida Diocese Youth Convention, June 11-12!

Let’s fill the house with young people ready to worship, learn, and experience God.

Parents, we’re counting on you. Youth, bring a friend. Let’s make an impact together! 🔥
