Dear Saints,
It is with profound sadness of heart and humbleness of spirit that the Adjutant General, Bishop Robert G. Rudolph, Jr., announces the glorious heavenly promotion and services for Deputy Adjutant Mother Connie Marie Smith.
The Adjutant General is requesting that all male clergy please wear “Class B” attire for both services – Thursday and Saturday. All ladies are respectfully asked to wear any shade of pink for the Thursday service, and all white for the Saturday service. No habits will be worn. Hotel information is forthcoming and will be distributed accordingly.
Final arrangements and accommodation information are below. We solicit your support and prayers for Bishop Felton M. Smith, Jr., the Smith family, Tennessee Eastern First Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction, and the National Adjutancy during this transitory season.
If I can be of further assistance, you can email me at ematthews@cogic.org or call (904) 217-9603. May God continue to strengthen and keep you.
In His Service
