Evangelist Joyce L Rodgers brother Supt Melton Timmons Couldn't Hold Back Emotions Eulogizing Sist

when the word first got out of joy's passing i received a telephone call from a dear friend of mine the bishop charles harrison mason patterson [Music] and i said to him i said bishop patterson now i know what your grandfather meant when he said it is dark and i have never seen it this dark before bishop patterson said to me timmons but my grandfather's sermon didn't stop right there he said my grandfather went on to say but god's face is turned toward you and when bishop patterson said that what a lift what a joy i felt in my heart i want to take a moment and thank our presiding bishop and chief apostle our friend for many years the bishop j drew sheer let's praise god for bishops here for his love and his support working with evangelist rogers for many years i'd also like to thank our presiding bishop emeritus bishop charles edward blake for allowing joyce to continue to minister my hat is off to our general supervisor mother barbara mccool lewis who has made herself and we accepted her as a part of our family and for the very personal touch that you've given to us during this time i'd also like to thank our general supervisor emeritus mother willie may rivers who desired so much to be here today but could not be here but sends her love in her prayers i have a special thank you from our family to the host pastor of this great church the one and only bishop t.d jakes thank you and lady jakes thank you from the time of joyce's past and bishop jakes made this church and every agency and every department that was needed for us to be successful in this service today he made those things available to us and we will always be grateful to you bishop jakes joyce was the kind of person who always opened doors for me as her little brother and i remember saying to her when i watched her stand at this pulpit and speak i said girl one of these days i'm going to be standing in the potter's house and look what she did where's the musician can i get the musician to hit e flat right quick oh yes now i can tell folk i preached at the [Music] time [Music] the evangelist around can i have two kojic minutes okay i feel a little better you're praying growing up joyce's dream one of her dreams was to become a dallas cowboy cheerleader well she ended up being a gladewater high school cheerleader and a kyogre college cheerleader but on last night the dallas cowboy organization for the first time in history made joyce rogers an honorary dallas cowboy cheerleader brother floyd's gonna let let me just show this i know i ain't got too many let me look at that look at the star look at the star george rogers [Music] now let me just say everybody in the world is happy everybody in heaven is happy except monday and big mama because they said you can't be saved and be no cheerleader that's what they said i uh i remember before joyce got saved when she was a cheerleader big mama said that dress is too short and you can't wear it and so a lady at our church named sister meredith made joyce a longer skirt that she left the house with that she left her some of y'all left the house with some some stuff in your purse she left the house with it and when she got to the school campus she changed [Music] we had a wonderful we had a wonderful and i'm gonna be through we had a wonderful childhood we grew up in the great rising star church of god in christ there in gladewater we started out under the leadership of the bishop j it would lee whose widow and children are here and sitting with our family today and then the superintendent c.h magnesius widow is here from austin today and we just enjoyed life i i remember i remember back in the day when we would have special programs they probably didn't do this anywhere but in great water but they would have these programs and they would have people singing and close to the end you could send in a request for somebody to sing anybody remember request the same well at every program joyce would send in a request for her own self to sing a solo she would write it down and it would go something like this dear sister carl please let george tillman sing a solo thank you george timmons but how many of you know god fixed that thing where she didn't have to ask anybody to be on program joyce was joyce was as you know she was very dear to me and she taught us some things she was like the mother of our family she taught us that we were to obey and honor leadership and joyce did that she taught us to stick to our word if she had told a congregation of 20 that she would be there and some congregation of 2000 invited her to come she wouldn't cancel that 20 to go to that 2000 because she believed that her word was a bun i jokingly said to joyce what my mother said that uh i'm just telling y'all what my dear said madea said that women don't preach oh sir y'all got a problem with my mama that's what medea said madison said that women don't preach and i would tease joyce about that and joyce knew how joyce knew how to adjust to whatever situation she was in i heard her right here at the potter's house preaching i know mother mildred lens is happy that i said she was preaching joyce was preaching and i heard her say the spirit of the lord is upon me because he has anointed me to preach the gospel she came right on the great water and got up and said the spirit of the lord is upon me because he has anointed me to do some things because she knew where she was over a handful of people i got 30 seconds half of the people in the church of god in christ still probably don't know my name i was always introduced as joyce rogers brother and you know what y'all think this is my stomach sticking out but my chest is sticking out cause i'm proud to be joyce rogers brother i want to thank people's funeral home and mr clifton maxwell from the first call from the pickup until today they have been outstanding and wonderful and let me just say if the need arises and you need the services of a mortuary called clifton maxwell at people's funeral home this is my last message oh god to my sister who i love so dearly joyce and i i heard this song when i was writing maybe with bishop walls it's a secular song [Music] bishop sheared when i got in this car this song was playing [Music] many of the saints won't know this but i i heard this song and it's my testimony to my sister joyce it was done by a young lady named celine dion [Music] look at the young folk there joyce you were my strength when i was weak you were my voice when i couldn't speak you
