Tomorrow, we gather to honor our Bishop’s life and to celebrate his new life in heaven. The Town Talk wrote a beautiful article and I thought I would repost here.
Longtime Pentecostal pastor Gerald A. Mangun of Alexandria dies at 91
Mangun, the longtime pastor of The Pentecostals of Alexandria, helped grow the church from less than 40 members when he arrived in Alexandria in 1950 to about 4,000 at the time of his death.
Visitation will be from noon to 6 p.m. Tuesday in the main sanctuary of The Pentecostals of Alexandria at 2817 Rapides Ave. The memorial service will follow at 6 p.m.
Burial will be in Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Pineville. A graveside service will be held Wednesday at 10 a.m.
“To me, he was a great mentor, a great person and a bigger-than-life spiritual leader,” said Charles Charrier, who met Mangun in 1966 and credits the late pastor as a major influence in his life. “He represented everything good, true, honorable and honest. His passing grieves me deeply.” Read the rest of the story here.

This is so awesome, Sis. Shoemake singing “Oh What Singing…” This gives me chills. I would love to have her sing at my graveside!
