On last Thursday, I had the opportunity to photograph a portion of the Annual Spring Workers' Conference, where Bishop Charles E. Blake (Presiding Bishop, Church of God in Christ Worldwide) was the guest preacher. The theme of this year's conference was "Seeking God's Help; Entering a Promising New Future". The Historic Virginia First Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction, COGIC served as host for the 6-day event. Thursday night's service was held with a standing-room-only congregation, at Community COGIC in Richmond VA. Here are some images from Bishop Blake's appearance in Virginia.
