Dear Saints,<\/p>\n

“Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints<\/em>.”
\nPsalm 116:15<\/p>\n

<\/a>This notice of Episcopal Transition is as per the directive of our Presiding Bishop & Chief Apostle, Bishop Charles Edward Blake, Sr.<\/p>\n

God, who is omnipotent and omniscient, has summoned His Servant, Bishop Jerome Norman<\/strong><\/em>, to eternal rest.\u00a0 Bishop Norman was Prelate Emeritus of the Barbados West Indies Jurisdiction.\u00a0 Upon his passing, Bishop Norman was Pastor Emeritus of the Full Gospel Mission Church Of God In Christ in New York under the leadership of Bishop Tyrone L. Butler.<\/p>\n

During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic resulting in local and state restrictions on public gatherings to achieve social distancing, the Norman family will hold a private memorial service for this valiant soldier of the Gospel.\u00a0 When the restrictions are lifted, a date will be set for a Jurisdictional Memorial Service that will appropriately recognize the godly life and notable achievements of Bishop Jerome Norman.<\/p>\n

During this time of uncertainty, we request the continued prayers as well as acts of emotional and spiritual support for the family.\u00a0 It is with great honor that the National Adjutancy will assist the Norman family during this most difficult time.<\/p>\n

“Blessed be the God, even the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort.<\/em>”\u00a0 2 Corinthians 1:3<\/p>\n

Sanctifying the Leader, I Am,<\/p>\n
