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 Server, Bishop Albert Vernon Jordan<\/strong><\/em>, to eternal rest. Bishop Jordan served as the Prelate of the Mississippi Southern Second Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction.<\/p>\n

During the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic resulting in local and state restrictions on public gatherings to achieve social distancing, the Jordan family will hold a private memorial service<\/a> for this servant. Information will be forthcoming with respect to a Public Viewing and Private Committal.<\/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 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>”
\n2 Corinthians 1:3<\/p>\n

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