To our beloved Church Of God In Christ family and communities of Southern California!
We are heartbroken as we watch from afar and receive reports of the wildfires’ devastation and impact on the Southern California region.
Please know that my wife, Karen, and I are praying for and thinking of you during this tragic moment. I am in touch with our Church of God in Christ regional and jurisdictional bishops in the Southern California area, and we will work with and through them to assist where needed.
Our churches and members impacted by the wildfires will receive aid from COGIC Charities. Please consider making a donation to COGIC Charities.
God bless you, and we love you,
Bishop John Drew Sheard
Presiding Bishop and Chief Apostle
Church of God in Christ, Inc.
Hang in there!
