A special worship service was held on Sunday, March 15 that marked the celebration of the 135th-anniversary of St. John AME Church.

Rev. Harry L. Seawright, the 133rd elected and consecrated bishop in the AME Church was the special guest preacher for the event.

This was followed by the singing of “The Church’s One Foundation,” the invocation by the Rev. Charles Glover, and another selection by the Mass Choir.

Bishop Seawright preached, “The Church—The Change Agent,” using Matthew 16:13-18.

Bishop Seawright cited an analogy of the Church serving as a change agent.
