Hello here is a video from a COGOP church convention in the 60's hope you'll check it out. The sound is a tad off but still pretty good for as old as it is.

Looks more like an old assembly march than a state convention...Maybe I'm wrong.

Yes sir. He is the one speaking throughout as well. I wish the sound quality was better he had a great voice.

Bro. Staggs performed a wedding ceremony for my parents way back in 1960?
He was my pastor in 1994 and State Overseer.
I attended church with him until he died.
Sis. Christine still attends here.

Was Bro Staggs the overseer of Virginia during this... or was it after this??? I learned to walk in Virginia (1967ish) while we were visiting him and his sweet wife, Lena. I think I was told we were at the Virginia State Convention... My dad, Bro Gene and Bro Staggs were great friends and he still loves to visit Sis Christine...actually have been promising to take him to see her....

I have a home video in storage that I shot in 1988 when Bro. Staggs was in Mississippi preaching a homecoming service. I'm not sure how old he was at the time, but he had to be on up there.

Anyone that knew him... Knew that he would have to be on after lunch and be willing to skip supper/dinner....
He wrote the book on long winded preachers....

My husband once attended a service where Bro. Staggs preached for two hours. He must have been great to hold one's attention that long. He was highly respected by our family.

That's the truth. Preached for 3 hours one Sunday night where I was a member. I don't know that a single book of the bible was left out of it in one way or another.
