New COGIC Presiding Bishop Calls for Time of Prayer, Fasting and Rededication

Share:

Newly elected Presiding Bishop J. Drew Sheard of the Church of God in Christ has issued a call for 10 weeks of prayer, fasting and rededication on Tuesdays and Fridays. The special season began March 30 and will continue through June 4, 2021.

“I’m asking that you would join us on a prayer call,” Sheard says in a video announcing the season of spiritual focus. “I don’t want to do it by Zoom, Screen, [Vid]yard or Facebook. I don’t want it to be a production. I want to do it so we can hear those individuals who will be chosen to lead in prayer. … You won’t have to fix up to be on camera. I just want you to lie before the Lord.

“I just want this to be a sincere cry to God to restore our church, heal our land and restore us to a recommitted life in Christ Jesus,” Sheard says. The schedule for the season will involve various components of the church leading in one-hour prayer calls.
