Today was such an honor.
Mike and I had the privilege of celebrating the retirement of Rev. Dr. Mark E. Whitlock, Jr. β Senior Pastor of Reid Temple AME β and Rev. Dr. Hermia βMiaβ Shegog-Whitlock, who served alongside him as Executive Pastor. Governor Wes Moore in the service for the occasion.
True partners. True servants. They did this together. π
Dr. Mark was also appointed Honorary Commander at Joint Base Andrews. The call never retires. πΊπΈ
I met the Whitlocks during one of the hardest seasons any of us lived through. They turned Reid Temple into a community health clinic during COVID β no barriers, no questions. I was leading Faith-Based Partnerships at CVS Health, and what grew between us was more than a program. It was a covenant of purpose. Together with CVS Health, Luminus Health and other incredible partners, we helped make sure people got what they needed most.
Dr. Mark shares inspiration weekly on with my husband βs show β reaching 2.5M+ listeners with wisdom and the Word.
Congratulations, Rev. Dr. Mark and Rev. Dr. Mia. We love you! π
