Bishop Grady receives
unique treat at
186th Philadelphia Annual Conference
Presiding Prelate Zedekiah
Lazett Grady, had 
back-to-back
special moments Thursday during the second day of the
186th Philadelphia Annual Conference. One treat was known. His son, the
Rev. Carey Andrew Grady, was scheduled to bring the noon "Hour of
Power" message. The second treat was a total surprise to all in
attendance, a guest appearance by Mom and Pop
Winans, the musical parents of the "First Family" of gospel. Mom
and Pop Winans, nee Delores and David, were in town to advance a scheduled June
21 concert that will feature the entire Winans family. They injected a musical
bolt of electricity into the large conference crowd and that was the
perfect springboard for the erudite. spirit-injected, powerful
sermon delivered by Rev. Carey Grady. For more on the annual conference [Click
