Attending the 100th year celebration of Ephesians COGIC in Berkeley was truly a remarkable experience. The atmosphere was filled with joy and spirituality as the congregation gathered to honor a century of steadfast ministry and community service. One of the standout moments was the powerful sermonic selection that set the tone for the event, creating a deeply moving worship experience that resonated with everyone present. Bishop J.
