BISHOP WOOTEN CELEBRATES 38TH PASTORAL ANNIVERSARY!

 Bishop Lawrence M. Wooten has been pastoring the Williams Temple Church Of God In Christ (COGIC) in St. Louis, Missouri for 38 years! With his wife (Lady Shirley Wooten); the two have served as a "dynamic duo" committed to evangelizing the region.

Serving as a General Board member of the Church Of God In Christ; Bishop Wooten is also a Police Commissioner for Saint Louis County, President of the Ecumenical Council of St. Louis and is a retired Superintendent of Public Schools. Lady Wooten (known as the "Devil Driver") is an international evangelist from her heart; doing missions work in Nigeria, maintaining daytime services and Williams Temple and serving as the coordinator of Christmas in November (the event during the International COGIC Holy Convocation where thousands of residents receive: food, clothes, toiletries, gift cards, toys for Christmas and most of all the Gospel of Jesus Christ).

It has been a blessing to have known this couple for many, many years. They have been supportive of so many. That is why there was no hesitation for me to serve on the committee for all of Bishop Wooten's campaigns for General Board (resulting in two great successes). I had no reservation in carrying his literature and campaign around the country on my ministerial crusades. These are good people.

Bishop Wooten is the first COGIC bishop from Saint Louis to serve on the General Board. Even though the late Bishop Daniel Bostick, the "father" of COGIC in the area, served on the "Board of Directors," Wooten is the first to serve on the "General Board."

May God continue to bless these well deserving people of God.
