I am deeply saddened by the death of my spiritual mother but i know she has gone to her real home She and Bishop Covington were like my second parents because i joined Power House when i was only 10 years old in 1966. They always encouraged me to do the right things and corrected me when i was wrong, and i appreciate that to this day May god comfort you all in your lost. Love Rosa Watlington (Rose)

It is never easy to deal with the pain of losing someone in death, yet there is someone that each of you can turn to. 1Peter 5:7 says, "...throw all your anxiety upon God, because he cares for you." These words prove that God is aware of your pain and cares for each one of you individually.

Our deepest sympathy to the family of Mother Covington. She encouraged us as we launched into the pastorate in Danville, Va, with her presence several times to check on "her children". May God strengthen you in this season and rejoice in her legacy of faith, love and endurance. Elder Stanleyand Norma Cousins, Ringgold , Virginia
