    This One Has Hit Hard...

    Coronavirus claims life of beloved pastor

    Bishop Glenn was a well-known and beloved Pastor, Mentor, and Community Leader - His church is about 15 minutes away from us, and we've been watching his Sunday morning TV broadcasts (while we get ready for church) for years.

    He was one of the few who still preached the "real" Gospel, and he wasn't afraid to touch the "hot button" topics such as homosexuality, same-sex marriages, etc.

    He was never involved in any scandals, and he was a man who truly loved God, and his Family.

    He will be sorely missed.

    Unfortunately, his wife was hospitalized, but is now recovering at home from pneumonia, and his 3 daughters and a son-in-law have tested positive for Covid-19

    Hubby read that Bishop Glenn held Sunday Service on March 22nd, and that he stated that "God is bigger than this virus" (as he almost mocked it in defiance) - Two weeks later, he's gone.

    10 of these COGIC Bishops are from Detroit and they all got it at a funeral. Bishop Marvin Winans Of Detroit got it at this funeral too and was in ICU with pneumonia. Also, his brother BeBe and his mom were at the funeral too and they both got it as well.

    Unfortunately I didn't save the story and cannot for the life of me remember where I read about it. But you can google Marvin and BeBe Winans name. They were both interviewed about it on different shows and they talked about attending the funeral in Detroit. It was for a Bishop. You can also check Marvin's FB. He sits at the piano and talks about it. I was listening to a well known preacher named Earl Carter talking about it on a YouTube clip and he said a Bishop from New Orleans went and have covid and didn't know it. He gave it to the Bishop sitting next to him and he died. I think (my guess) a lot of churches didn't take action early enough. They seemed to have had the most deaths.

    I found an article about BeBe talking about the funeral and his family getting ill but no mention of whose funeral.

    However I just saw this posted on Facebook and made a new thread about it.

    I just heard on our church's daily devotional/prayer line that the wife of Bishop John H. Sheard had passed (Mother of Bishop John Drew Sheard, grandmother of Kierra Sheard)
