Greetings my brothers and sisters in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I remain saved sanctified and kept by the power of the Holy Ghost. I give honor to our General Chief Overseer, Assistant Overseer and all officials who are teaching, preaching and living according to the word of God.

Saints, my heart is still rejoicing over the wonderful time we had in the Midwest Women Conference. I also praise God for the success of the Hats and Pearls Women’s Conference in Philadelphia. I praise God for giving all safe travel to Detroit and back home. I give special thank you to the Bishop Rosemary Buchanan and all the members of Detroit. Minister Michelle Stramler made our stay so comfortable.

To each and every one who made the Midwest Women’s Conference a success (Praise and Worship Leaders, Musicians, Ministers, etc.) I appreciate each one of you for the awesome service that you rendered during the conference. I pray that God will bless each of you abundantly. I truly enjoyed each speaker: Trial Bishop Mary Townsend, Deaconess Katrina Edmonds, Deaconess Telashey Farr, and Deaconess Macy Woods all did a beautiful job. The Overseer and I appreciate you and we pray that God will continue to bless you.

To all those who will be celebrating Mother’s Day on Sunday the General Chief Overseer and I wish you all a Happy Mother’s Day. We continue to pray that God gives each mother the wisdom to raise your children in the fear and admonition of the Lord. Let us not forget the woman and founding mother of the Church of the Living God, Mother Mary Magdalena Lewis-Tate who worked so hard to establish and lead God’s people to holiness.

In my closing, I leave you with Numbers 6:24-26, “The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: The Lord make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give the peace.” All Praises be the true and Living God.

“ HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!!!!!” to all Mother’s from the General Overseer, Bishop Dr. Calvin and 1^st Lady Deaconess Linda Worthem.

His Servant,

Deaconess Linda Worthem

First Lady of COTLG-Jewell Dominion
