This communique is being sent at the request of the Adjutant General, Bishop Robert G. Rudolph, Jr. as per Presiding Bishop Charles E. Blake, Sr.
It is with great regret that I inform you of the passing of Bishop James A. Lewis, an Auxiliary Bishop of the Southern California First Jurisdiction, under the leadership of Bishop Joe. L. Ealy, Jurisdictional Prelate; and the husband of Mother Barbara McCoo Lewis, General Supervisor, Department of Women, Church Of God In Christ, Inc.. The Lewis family and the Jurisdiction are in need of our fervent prayers at this time.
Final arrangements can be found here. As information is given to the Adjutancy, we will forward it to you as soon as possible.
If you need further assistance, you can email me at ematthews@cogic.org or call 904.217.9603
In His Service,
Overseer Earl R. Matthews
Scribe of the National Adjutancy
