East Tennessee Pastors Meeting

It's a little after 1:00 a.m., (EST)on Wednesday and I am in Cleveland just now winding down from a long day. I left the State office at about noon and made my way to Knoxville to meet with the pastors of District 1, 2, and 3. Bishop Robert Ledford arranged the meeting so that we could discuss upcoming issues at the General Assembly. It was a great time of fellowship and food. If I counted correctly, there were 17 pastors in attendance.

At the same time that I was meeting, Bishop F. Leon Graves was meeting with pastors from Districts 9 and 10 at the Westmoreland church. As of now, I don't have the total number of pastors present, but I know that he was expecting a good turnout.

Earlier this month, Bishop Richard Neal met with Districts 11, 12 and 13 at the Crossroads church with the same topics of discussion.

We are bless to have great leaders in our churches in Tennessee, and I am thankful to have been associated with them for the past two years.

May God bless you.

Death Notice - Clara McMahan

I AM SHARING A NOTICE I JUST RECEIVED FROM PASTOR TERRY BARNWELL (KNOXVILLE- ARROWHEAD) Hi Brother; I pray your day is going along well. I wanted to let you know of the passing of Sister Clara McMahan this morning. Her husband Claude has served as deacon for over 52 years at the Arrowhead church. This wonderful lady has touched thousands of lives across Tennessee. She is the sister of Charlie Weaver. The day you and Sister McKinley were with us on the Home Coming Sunday if you remember the youth presented this couple with a light house they had built for them. Sister Clara will be greatly missed greatly. I will let you know the arrangements when I get them if you wished to attend the services. If your schedule will not permit I understand, but I just wanted you to know. Love you and have a blessed day; Bro. Terry
