Beautiful soul was called home my deepest sympathy to Mother Smith's family

First Corinthian Full Gospel Universal Contact Center Will always be Truly Thankful and Grateful for All Reverend Mother Mozie Smith did for us. Many years Reverend Smith stood in the Gap for Us, One Early Easter Morning at Sunrise we All were at Belle Isle Detroit MI First Corinthian Needed a New Worship Building. Rev. Smith began to Stir the Water and Pray It seemed like the Heavens Opened to Her Prayers it was A Beautiful Sight and Experience. Well through the Power of Prayer we Got The Building God Blessed Us Through Reverend Smith. Thank You Lord For allowing Your Servant to Bless us. Now LORD Continue to Take Care of Her Family and All The Church Families Mother Loved So Dearly In Jesus Name Amen Hallelujah!!!

To the Family of Rev. Mozie Lee Smith, What a fellowship what a joy divine when we all gathered for worship in the presence of God and Reverend Mother, as I sometimes called her. She was truly a powerhouse, a trailblazer, one of a kind, and Holy Spirit filled! Her Class Leader said she worshiped with every faith and if you knew her you knew that that was the truth! When I entered the ministry she had me preach at her church and always called me Autry. I remember one time I told her a sermon title and she matter of fact said, that's too long, but I used it anyway...lol... When her church burned down she still ministered wherever she could and when I was appointed to New St. James she would call me up Autry, I need a place for worship, she would give me the date and I would say alright come on over. Later on after being assigned to Churches in Jackson and then Benton Harbor we saw very little of each other. I had a difficult time catching up with her but when she needed me she reached out and found me. Reverend Mother worshiped and glorified God on earth so she has a place around His throne, singing holy, holy, holy is the Lamb of God. God bless you all, truly a life well lived.

Servant of Christ, Rev. Minnie Autry
