I, the Presiding Prelate & Senior Bishop, along with Bishop Hazel M. Mack, our Vice Presiding Prelate & Co-Adjutor, The Executive Board, as well as, the General Assembly of this Great Zion, WELCOME you to our 20/25 Celebration Convocation.

Our theme for this year’s Celebratory Gathering is “The Year of the Lord’s Favor”. It is only with God’s favor, that we are here and still standing after 20 years of Fellowship.

We invite you to come, participate and be blessed while you enjoy the mighty move of God. We want you to experience fellowship, praise, and worship in unity. I wish that every leader, preacher, delegate, and visitor will leave this Convocation as a united body with one mind and one spirt.

Again, Thank You for attending and Welcome!

Yours Because of Christ, Bishop Sylvia J. Britton Preside Prelate & Senior Bishop

It is with GREAT joy that I write to you on behalf of myself, as well as our Presiding Prelate, and our Executive Board to say THANK YOU for attending our 20/25 Celebration Convocation.

It is with sincere gratitude that I extend heartfelt appreciation to EVERYONE, especially our Covenant Pastors and Executive Board, that worked so hard and diligently to make this time of fellowship a success and high time in the presence of the Lord.

I also want to THANK all our registered delegates, our new affiliates and all those who gave their financial support to help meet the demands of our budget. To Pastor Bryan Jackson and his staff, thank you for opening your doors for us. To the musicians, guest singers, guest preachers and extended church family, thank you for making this a memorable time; YOU ROCK! As we have already began preparing for Holy Convocation “2025” …we hope you will join us again and we look forward to seeing you there.

Until Then, Bishop Hazel M. Mack Vice Presiding Prelate & Co-Adjutor
