As the Bishops’ Wives Circle moves forward, it embraces an all-inclusive vision, providing every Bishop’s Wife the opportunity to share her diverse gifts, flourish her talents, and emit a sweet, fragrant aroma.The Patterson/Sherman Scholarship The Bishops’ Wives Circle Scholarship, named the Deborah Mason Patterson Scholarship, was started under the direction of Mother Daisy Sherman in 1985. Mother Patterson was the wife of our first elected Presiding Bishop. In 2017, the President of the Bishops’ Wives Circle, Mother Willie Mae Sheard, along with the committee in St. Louis, Missouri, changed the name of the scholarship to The Patterson/Sherman Scholarship. By doing so, the Circle not only recognized the legacy of Mother Deborah Mason Patterson but also the dedicated service of Mother Daisy Sherman, who was the president of the Circle for more than 30 years. As Bishops’ Wives and leaders in our church, we hold the firm conviction that higher education is critical to the success of our families, churches, and nation. Under the current leadership of the Bishops’ Wives Circle, Mother Yolanda Bryant, we continue the same standard to assist deserving female students with funds that will aid in the completion of Graduate School degrees, encourage academic achievements, and help ensure career excellence throughout the Church of God in Christ.
