Earlier today the Church of God in Christ announced the passing of Evangelist Joyce L. Rodgers.

“It is with heavy hearts that we announce the transition of Supervisor Joyce L.

Rodgers. A Woman of God par excellence, a dearly beloved chairlady, a trusted confidante, a faithful friend. Words don’t suffice. We honor your life and your legacy. #COGIC,” the church wrote in an Instagram post.

Rodgers, who had been sick, was officially installed as Jurisdictional Supervisor of Texas Northeast First Jurisdiction only two days earlier on March 17, 2021.

As news of her passing spread, faith leaders expressed their sadness and shock.

Gospel artist Judith Christie McAllister, who hosted a prayer call on behalf of her dear friend, posted a video of her singing to Rodgers, writing in the caption, “#Nowords 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔#Whenmyheartisoverwhelmed#RestSis#iloveyouforever❤️#JCM”
