Good afternoon Saints,

Our 2013 Holy Jurisdiction Convocation week begins with our Musical Celebration, Sunday, August 4, 2013 at 5:00 PM.  Come prepared to enjoy praise, worship, and prepared to be a blessing to the music department.

During our explosive 2012 Convocation Musical, we were blessed with songs from the Jurisdiction Choir, and numerous up and coming artists.  I was excited to present to the saints of God, two Stellar Award wining artists, Maurette Brown Clark and Isaiah D. Thomas with his gospel band and back up singers, the Elements of Praise. 

This year I'm confident we will have record attendance of the Musical again, plan to arrive at New Bethel early.  Meals are serviced on site.  

I'm excited to announce that not only will our growing Jurisdiction Music Department provide music and song during the Sunday musical and throughout the week of the Convocation, we will be joined by local and national recording artists that have accepted my invitation to join us for the Musical.   I've received confirmation from the following artists that are joining our jurisdiction choir for our Sunday Musical:

		Washington DC Jurisdiction Choir

You are strongly encouraged to mark your calendar for Official Day, Sunday, August 11th, when we will be honoring our Jurisdiction Prelate, Bishop Neavelle A. Coles.  I've invited a Special Guest Artist that was nominated for the Gospel Music's Dove Award and is a Stellar Award wining artist to be the Psalmist moments before our Bishop delivers the Holy Word to God's people.  Details to follow.

Once again, I'm confident that we will have a glorious time during this year's Convocation Musical, as Bishop Neavelle Coles again leads us to a higher level of worship.

Again, we anticipate attendance hitting a new high this year, beginning with the Convocation Musical on August 4, 2013 and ending with Official Day, August 11, 2012.  I encourage you to make your way to New Bethel early Sunday, August 4th, to assure you have a seat for our 5 PM prompt start time.  Forward this email to others within our jurisdiction so they may plan accordingly.  Click the forward  button below to send multiple emails from  this email.

We anticipate a large turn-out during this year's musical.  So please assure you are in the Sanctuary prior to the 5 PM prompt start time.
