Celebrating Bishop Alexander

It’s that time we set aside to honor the wonderful gift from God in the person of Bishop Claude Richard Alexander, Jr. This year we are celebrating 33 years of his faithful service and leadership. This celebration will culminate on September 24th with an Anniversary / Send-off as our Bishop will begin his time of Sabbatical rest.

Park family, we welcome you to flood social media with pics, well wishes, and notes to our Bishop, utilizing the hashtag #Bishop33 as
we honor this Giant in God’s Kingdom.

You don’t want to miss a moment in September, but you certainly don’t want to miss the fourth Sunday as we celebrate our Pastor.
