Jerrold Norwood, Founding Member of Shekinah Glory Ministry, Passes Away

Jerrold Norwood, a founding member of the platinum-selling Chicago-based gospel music ensemble Shekinah Glory Ministry, passed away of cancer complications on August 4, 2024.
"The members of Shekinah Glory Ministry aren't just fellow worshippers or fellow singers or fellow musicians, we are family," was a statement posted on Shekinah Glory Ministry's Facebook page. "We regretfully announce the passing of one of our original members, Jerrold Paine Norwood. Jerrold was a giant of a worshipper, a threat to the devil, a warrior to those who were unhoused and downtrodden. A devout family man and our dear brother."
The ebullient Jerrod Paine Norwood was born January 3, 1964, in Chicago, IL. He grew up in the area and was a founding member of Shekinah Glory Ministry when it first organized circa 1999. The ensemble has earned five R.I.A.A.-certified gold and platinum recordings for hit recordings such as "Praise Is What I Do," "Yes," and "Before the Throne." He led the song "Higher" from the group's 2007 live album.
