Presiding: Bishop John L. Ghee

Greeting, Pastors and Church Clerks:

We will Celebrate in remembrance of the 155th Anniversary of the Founding of the R.Z.U.A. Church at 10:00 a.m. on April 7, 2024. This Founder’s Day Celebration has been an annual event for us since 1965. All pastors, preachers, general officers, and congregations are requested to be present in support of this Annual Celebration.

This year’s Founders Day Asking is $155 from each pastor, $155 from each church, $25 from all ministers who are not pastoring, and $10 from each general officer. These funds are used by the general treasury to help meet our operating expenses.

It is our tradition that ALL R.Z.U.A. churches participate in the Founder’s Day service. There will be Sunday school classes as well as a worship service.

We request that your Founder’s Day Asking and your Building Fund donations for the first Sunday in April be reported by March 30, 2024.

Remember that there will be no 4:00 p.m. service conducted on April 7, 2024.

Please share this information with your congregations and community — and plan to support this year’s Founder’s Day with your whole heart as together we glorify God!

May the joy and peace of God be yours,

Bishop John L. Ghee
