More than 40,000 attendees expected to be present at Church of God in Christ Convention in October

 

Memphis, TN (BlackNews.com) — The Church of God in Christ 104th Holy Convocation will convene October 31 – November 9, 2011 in St. Louis, Missouri, and is expected to be the biggest convention of 2011 in St. Louis, says the St. Louis Business Journal.

The St. Louis Convention and Visitors Commission says the 2010 convocation attracted 35,000 attendees that spent upwards of $35 million during the eight-day convention. This year’s convocation attendance is already expected to increase in size and economic impact to the region. This “places the convocation squarely on top of the St. Louis Business Journal’s list of the city’s largest 2011 conventions and group meetings” says the journal.

Presiding Bishop Charles E. Blake, Sr. explains that this convention will be an opportunity for the members of COGIC to “set down our buckets to receive the latter rain of inspiration, instruction and the work of ministry.” The convocation is a time for the delegates to experience great speakers and some of the greatest gospel music singers in the nation.

The official Holy Convocation website has just launched and includes up-to-date information about the 104th Holy Convocation, including a list of events, speakers and musical artists for the week.

The informative site also includes an online Press Room with fast, easy navigation, ensuring a user-friendly experience for visitors, while providing user-friendly functionalities. Please visit www.cogic.org and click on the Holy Convocation banner for additional information.
