General Assembly Concludes

As I write today, it is just a few minutes after 11:00 p.m., on the concluding day of the General Assembly of the Church of God of Prophecy. There was a good attendance, and the worship services were great. Each of the sermons delivered were right on target, and on Saturday night, I believe they reached a crescendo when Bishop Adrian Varlack spoke with what I consider to be a prophetic voice.

All of the reports to the General Assembly were accepted, with only slight adjustments. There was a one accord agreement reached on the final portions of the marriage document on Sunday morning.

The church received a lot of good press coverage from the local and even nationally known publications. There was a fair article in the Tennessean newspaper, and also a report on Channel Two news in Nashville. The New York Times carried an article that treated us fairly as well. Thank God for what I believe to be favorable coverage for the General Assembly and our debates.

A special thanks to all of the Tennessee pastors and members who helped make the General Assembly a great success. I also want to thank all of you for your kind expressions to our family. We are so thankful to continue laboring among the wonderful people of Tennessee. May God bless you.

Prayer Request

Yesterday and today have been filled with non-stop preparations and meetings for the General Assembly. The State/National Overseers will be traveling to begin meeting this week in Nashville. Will you please join me in prayer for travel mercies for all of those on their way to Nashville? Also, Sister Wilma Massengale is still in Vanderbilt Hospital in Nashville. This precious lady and her family need our prayer support, and I hope you will join me in prayer for them, believing the Lord is able to meet their need.

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
