🕊️ OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our beloved Bishop William Lee III.
While we grieve this great loss, we also rejoice in the blessed assurance of our faith, knowing that his earthly labor has come to an end and that he is now with the Lord.
We are grateful for his life, his faithful service, his leadership, and the many lives he touched throughout his years of ministry. His legacy will continue through the people, churches, and communities he served.
As we honor his life, we also remember his beloved wife, the late Mother Melba Lee, who preceded him in death.
During this time, we ask you to keep his children Tobias, Curtis, and Claudia, together with their partners, and his (great)grandchildren in your prayers. May God surround the entire Lee family with His peace, comfort, and strength.
We invite the European Jurisdiction and the entire CLGI family to join us in prayer as we mourn, remember, and celebrate the life and legacy of our beloved Bishop.
Well done, Bishop!
Your labor was not in vain.
