On Monday, September 2, 2013, Senior Pastor J. Alfred Smith, Jr. delivered the Prayer of Dedication for the new Eastern Span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge at a ceremony of officials, construction workers and families.
After the chain cutting that declared the Bay Bridge open, Pastor Smith was among the first to cross the new span in a caravan of automobiles representing the seven decades which the bridge has connected the East Bay and San Francisco. Pastor Smith rode along with Oakland Mayor Jean Quan.
