The Church of God in Christ (COGIC) celebrated its 115th Holy Convocation in its founding city, Memphis, marking a significant return with a week-long event from November 7th to 14th.
The event featured a lineup of great speakers, soul-stirring music, and profound preaching, with Presiding Bishop J. Drew Sheard and Memphis-based Bishop Brandon Porter at the helm. The Renasant Convention Center and the FedEx Forum also played host to various meetings, with the city’s Mayor Jim Strickland and Mayor-Elect Paul Young being acknowledged as instrumental in facilitating the event’s relocation.
