THE HOLY CONVOCATION
The upcoming Holy Convocation, scheduled from October 23-26, 2024, in Baltimore, Maryland, holds great significance for our covenant in Christ. The convocation will commence with morning prayers on Wednesday and culminate with a historic Appointment of Overseers on Saturday. We kindly request all attendees to complete their registration upon arrival, or utilize the early registration option available at www.BethElChurches.org.
In adherence to the traditions of our convocation, we have established specific attire guidelines for various segments of the event. These guidelines encompass Business Attire and Church Attire for most of the convocation, with specific attire requirements for evening services, the General Assembly, the Official Night Worship, and the Appointment of Overseers on Saturday morning. Click here for Dress Code and schedule. Please pay special attention to the details, such as wearing black shoes and single-colored socks/stockings with your vestments, to ensure a uniform and respectful appearance during photography and videography sessions.
It is important to note that our convocation adheres to a high standard of order and decorum in all activities and interactions. We hold ourselves to the utmost level of good manners and respect towards one another, both in public and in private. As representatives of our faith, it is our collective responsibility to maintain a formal and dignified conduct, particularly in the presence of the public.
​
With the blessings of unity and fellowship, we fervently hope for a blessed and remarkable Holy Convocation for all. Until we convene in Baltimore, may the grace of God and the communion provided by the Holy Spirit be with you and your loved ones.
​​​​ In His Service I Remain,
Right Reverend J. L. Jackson
