Hello COGIC family,
I'm a proud/excited forth generational and my children are fifth generational members of The Church of God in Christ. In our one hundred plus years of existance, we have come a long ways. We still have a ways to go. However, I'm excited about the leadership of this Grand ole Church and where it's going. In the words of our Presiding Bishop, Bishop Charles Edward Blake Sr; "I see us in the future, and we look much better than we look right now."
I would like to know what are some of the things you would like to see in this church? For example. I work with the C. H. Mason Historical Society, and I would love to see the history of our church being implemented in our New members classes, bible band, Y.P.W.W etc. Some of our long time members (5-10 years) don't know the history of our church. Some of our 1-3 year old members don't even know who Bishop Mason was. When you ask a member of the COGIC who Bishop Mason was, and they ask you, is he on the general board? That's bad. Not there fault, they just haven't been taught. Speaking of Y.P.W.W; when I was growing up, as young people we had so many things that were offered during our Y.P.W.W. We couldn't wait til the next Sunday. We were always excited about going. Now, you see mostly middle aged and older saints at Y.P.W.W for those churches who still have it.
What are your thoughts and what would you like to see?
