Bishop Charles Harrison Mason was the founder and first senior bishop of the Church Of God In Christ (COGIC), presently the largest African-American Pentecostal church in the United States. Born to former slaves Jerry and Eliza Mason in Shelby County, Tenn., on Sept. 8, 1864, Mason worked with his family as a sharecropper and did not receive a formal education as a child. But at an early age, he was influenced by his parents’ religion. Mason joined the African-American Missionary Baptist Church when he was an adolescent and later received his license to preach from the Mount Gale Missionary Baptist Church in Preston, Ark. In November 1893, Mason enrolled at the Arkansas Baptist College, but withdrew after three months to transfer to the Minister's Institute at the College; he graduated from the Institute in 1895. In 1895, Mason met Charles Price Jones, a popular Baptist preacher from Mississippi. Mason and Jones soon began preaching the doctrine of holiness and sanctification in the local Baptist churches, which led to their expulsion from the Baptist Convention. Mason and Jones decided to form a new fellowship of churches. Mason suggested the name Church Of God In Christ, after what he described as a vision in Little Rock, Ark., to distinguish the church from a number of “Church of God” groups forming at that time. Due to disagreements in the new Pentecostal teachings, the two men split their group in 1907. Mason won the legal rights to the Church Of God In Christ name and charter, and established his work in Memphis. After moving the COGIC headquarters to Memphis, Mason established additional departments and auxiliaries, created dioceses, and appointed overseers throughout the country. In 1945, Mason dedicated Mason Temple in Memphis as the church’s national meeting site and the international headquarters of the Church Of God In Christ. At the time of Mason’s death on Nov. 17, 1961, COGIC had a membership of more than 400,000 and more than 4,000 churches in United States as well as congregations in Europe, South America, Africa, and Asia. Today, it has an estimated 6.5 million members. The church can be found in every state in the United States and in more than 60 countries around the world.

Charles E. Blake, Sr. was elected the seventh in succession Presiding Bishop by the General Assembly of the Church Of God In Christ, Incorporated, on November 12, 2007. At the 101st Holy Convocation, during the quadrennial election in 2007, Bishop Blake was re-elected as Presiding Bishop, as well as again re-elected in 2012 for another four-year term. Bishop Blake is the pastor of West Angeles Church Of God In Christ, one of the largest churches in the Western United States, with a membership of over 25,000. He is recognized as one of the great preachers of this generation with a message that ministers to the whole person and brings together people of various racial and ethnic backgrounds. On April 6, 2009, in Washington, D.C., President Barack Obama sought Presiding Bishop Charles E. Blake to serve on his 25-person White House Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. This one-year appointment is a testament to his passion for the community and his desire to unite all people for the common good. He was also chosen as one of four individuals to speak at the Democratic National Convention’s first Ecumenical Service, where he pronounced his status as pro-life Democrat and challenged both Democrats and Republicans to protect the rights of the unborn and born alike. The heart of Bishop Blake is seen quite clearly in the love that he has for the children in Africa who have become orphans because of the HIV/AIDS pandemic plaguing the continent. In response to the HIV/AIDS crisis in Africa, Bishop Blake founded, the Pan African Children’s Fund (PACF). Save Africa’s Children, a program of PACF, for eleven years before ending, provided support to over 420 orphan care programs, 200,000 children and 24 nations throughout sub-Saharan Africa. In 2016, Bishop Blake was voted to the prestigious Executive Council of the Pentecostal World Fellowship. He has also formerly served as an Advisory Committee Member of the Pentecostal World Conference, and as the founder and Co-chair of the Los Angeles Ecumenical Congress (LAEC), an interdenominational coalition of religious leaders and pastors. He was the founding Chair of the Board of Directors for the C.H. Mason Theological Seminary, and has served as a member of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, and as a Board Member of the Board of Directors for the Interdenominational Theological Seminary. Bishop Blake has served as Chair of the Executive Committee, member of the Board of Directors of Oral Roberts University, and as a member of the Board of Directors of International Charismatic Bible Ministries. Bishop Blake’s awards and accolades are numerous. A few include the Distinguished Leadership Award presented by the African Presidential Archives and Research Center at Boston University (2007), the Trumpet Award (2006), the Salvation Army’s William Booth Award, the Greenlining Institute’s Big Heart Award, and was the designated recipient of the Los Angeles Urban League’s Whitney M. Young Award (2000). In 2003, Bishop Blake was awarded the Harvard Foundation Humanitarian Medal for his work with Save Africa’s Children and its mission to support orphanages throughout the continent of Africa. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors designated February 5, 2004 as Bishop Charles E. Blake Day. Second only to his call as a minister of the Gospel, Bishop Blake says his most treasured accomplishments are those of a devoted husband to Lady Mae Lawrence Blake, and a loving father and grandfather to their three children and eight grandchildren.

Greetings to All of the Lord’s People: I would like to extend an enthusiastic welcome to each of you as we excitedly gather for the Church Of God In Christ’s 111th Holy Convocation! 111 years of God’s goodness to us as the 4th largest Protestant group in the United States and one the oldest Pentecostal institutions in the world, currently in 95 countries, is certainly something to be excited and proud about. As the Holy Convocation is our largest annual convention, we gather to continue the epic legacy of our church to, intentionally, impact and influence the world. I would further like to extend a tremendous note of thanks to the city of St. Louis for welcoming us once again, and for being a gracious and accommodating host for the past eight years. As we look forward to fulfilling fellowship and miraculous worship experiences as one collective church, I pray that the Spirit of God and His magnificent blessings would overflow to every St. Louisan that we encounter during the 111th Holy Convocation. As 2018 nears its close, I would like to remind and encourage each of you to continue in the vain of our 2018 theme - “The Church Seasoning the World” - as outlined in Matthew 5:13-16. The current state of our country alone should motivate us, as saints of the Most High God, to consistently infiltrate the darkness with our light. As the salt of the earth, we have a duty to maintain our flavor, our positions and our influence. Through steadfast prayer, the Word of God and total reliance on the Savior, we are victorious. If we assemble with prayerful hearts and minds, I am confident that the Lord will meet us mightily in all of our sessions and services. I greatly anticipate His outpouring. I also ask that you please join with me in earnest prayer for the General Board and the leadership of our church, that the Holy Spirit would strengthen and enable us to lead the saints of God with power, solely for His glory. In His Service,

Bishop Charles E. Blake, Sr. Presiding Bishop & Chief Apostle

The Seventh in Succession CHURCH OF GOD IN CHRIST, INC.

I Tender My Respect and High Honor to The Most Reverend Charles Edward Blake Sr.

Presiding Bishop and Chief Apostle Church Of God In Christ

Distinguished Members of the Presidium

Board of Bishops, Elected and Appointed Officers Holy greetings beloved Saints! With a heart full of joy and thanksgiving WELCOME DELEGATES to the 111th Annual Holy Convocation. As we gather in the beauty of holiness to worship our God, be encouraged and refreshed by His word and experience the sweet fellowship of one another so our united efforts of seasoning the world will be intensified. The incredible visionary leadership of our Presiding Bishop continues to accelerate the scope of influence of the Church Of God In Christ around the world. Our leader’s compassionate sensitivity to the holistic needs of mankind is evidenced in the global implementation of a multiplicity of programs, initiatives and building enterprises witnessed in our Jerusalem (Memphis). With a deep spirit of humility, I covet the continued prayers of the saints so that the Lord will fill me with His glory to be a compelling voice to the women, in support of the vision of our national church, as I continue to build upon the strong foundation of the women’s work entrusted to me by my predecessors. He hath shown us what is good, and what does the Lord require of us but to do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with our God (Micah 6:8). Serving to bring glory to my Father,

Mother Barbara McCoo Lewis Seventh Serving General Supervisor

MOTHER FRANCES KELLEY & THE INTERNATIONAL PRAYER TEAM

“If you do what’s right, God will do what’s necessary.” – Mother Frances Kelley

Church Of God In Christ 2018 Theme:

The Church Seasoning the World (Matthew 5:13-16 – NKJV)

Matthew 5:13-16

13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. 14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Jeremiah 32:27 27 Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?

Philippians 4:6&7 6 Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be

made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and

minds through Christ Jesus.

James 5: 13 – 16 13 Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is any merry? Let him sing psalms. 14 Is any sick among you? Let

him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the

Lord: 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed

sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may

be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
